The First Aid At Work course is a minimum 3 day training course (18 hours of contact time). The syllabus is approved by the Health & Safety Executive and many employers will find they are required to have staff qualified in this course in accordance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.

The First Aid at Work course includes both theory and practical sessions. Students are independently examined on the final afternoon of the course. Upon successful completion certification is valid for three years. If your delegates have previously completed the full 3 day First Aid at Work Course and their certification is in date or within 28 days after the expiry date you may wish to consider the 2 day requalification course. Under the current guidelines it is ‘strongly recommended’ that first aid trained staff attend a half-day update every 12 months – before completing full re-qualification training at the three year point.
