First Aid at Work Requalification

First Aid at Work Requalification

This two day requalification course is designed to refresh the first aiders knowledge and skills along with obtaining any recent updates in first aid procedures.

A current first aid certificate must be held by the individual. Evidence of this will need to be shown to the instructor on the first day of training. This course may be attended up to three months before the certificate expiry date but must be completed within 28 days of the certificate expiry date.

Each delegate will enjoy re-living the experience of practical sessions and dynamic teaching methods from one of the 'Pulse' team.

The outcome of the course will enable the individual to respond to an accident or illness promptly, effectively and safely, use first aid equipment including the content of a first aid box, maintain records with regard to any treatment of an emergency and understand their employers duties and legislation.
