Pre-requisites

The practical elements of this course are essential as they provide you with vital hands-on experience. It is important that you are physically able to take part in the practical parts of the course.

The HSE requires you to attend the full duration of the course to be eligible for evaluation and qualify for a First Aid at Work certificate.

Assessment and Certification

You will be continually assessed throughout the duration of the course by one of our qualified trainers. Upon successful completion you will receive a First Aid at Work Certificate valid for three years.

The HSE recommends that all qualified first aiders should refresh their knowledge and first aid skills every year. We offer an In-House Annual Skills Update course which can be delivered at your premises for up to 12 first aiders.

On-Site Training Room Requirement

It is recommended that the room size should be approximately 20 x 30 feet for a full 12 person course. The room should be large enough to seat all candidates comfortably in a semicircle formation. The floor space in the centre should be clean and uncluttered as this will be used for the practical parts of the course. The trainer will also require a flip chart if one is available.
