First Aid at Work Requalification (HSE)
The FAW course is two days and on the final day the student will be assessed by a independent assessor arranged by us. The HSE strongly recommends that the first aider takes an annual refresher but this can be done online with our e-learning service. Certification last for three years and so long as the student has not let their qualification expire they can sit a two day refresher course as opposed to a full three day course.
