First Aid at Work Requalification Blended - Course Overview
This blended First Aid at Work Requalification course allows learners to renew their qualification by completing an online eLearning module before attending a one-day face-to-face training session, instead of the standard two classroom days.
The online learning can be completed at your own pace and can be split across multiple sessions. The estimated completion time for this is around six hours, depending on prior knowledge of the subject and confidence using online learning systems.
This course refreshes the same core topics covered in the initial First Aid at Work qualification, in line with the Health & Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 (Appendix 5). Candidates successfully completing this course will be entitled to act as a first-aider in the workplace.
Who Is This Course For?
This course is designed for individuals who already hold a First Aid at Work certificate and need to renew their qualification before it expires.
The blended requalification option provides flexibility for existing first aiders to update their knowledge and practical skills. Candidates can also complete this course as a full 2 day face to face if they prefer.
