This course is for individuals who wish to renew an existing, valid First Aid at Work certificate.
If your certificate has expired, you are still able to attend this course; however, the HSE recommends that you attend the First Aid at Work (3-day course) if more than a month has elapsed since expiry.
Please be aware that the requalification course is an intensive course with little practice time and is meant for those who still have their certificate. If you decide to take the requalification course, you must work at the required speed.
