- Total Qualification Time: 15 Hours
- Qualification Validity: 3 Years
- Assessment Type: Practical Demonstration and Written Examination
According to HSE guidance, a first aider is no longer considered competent once their qualification expires. To avoid a shortfall of qualified first aiders in the workplace, requalification should be arranged before expiry. To requalify learners can attend a shortened 12-hour two-day requalification course.
The two-day requalification course covers all the learning outcomes and assessment criteria of the three-day course in a shorter time. Learners must attend the specific two-day FAW requalification course and cannot simply attend two days of the three-day course. The qualification consists of two units that must be successfully completed to achieve the First Aid at Work (RQF) qualification.
