• 9. The first aid requirements of the Education & Care sector confuse me!

Please see our Education & Care Sector Factsheet.

• 10. Am I entitled to do the First Aid at Work Requalification course?
  

The Requalification course is a revalidation of an existing full First Aid at Work qualification.  As such candidates must supply their previous First Aid at Work qualification details AND a copy of their current First Aid at Work certificate to us before attending a course. If individuals book on to a course, or are booked by an employer, with a certificate that has or will have expired by the time they undertake the course, NO STATUTORY CERTIFICATE CAN BE ISSUED.  The full FAW and Requalification FAW qualifications have valid 3 year lifetimes. The Requalification course may be completed up to 28 days past its expiry date.  Should you not meet these requirements, you will need to complete the full First Aid at Work course.
