What Our Clients Say
-
What First Aid course do I need?Tt depends on your workplace risk level: Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) – for low-risk environments (e.g. offices, retail). First Aid at Work (FAW) – for higher-risk settings (e.g. warehouses, manufacturing). Paediatric First Aid – for early years, education and childcare settings. We’re happy to help you choose the right one — just get in touch.
-
How long do First Aid certificates last?All First Aid at Work and Emergency First Aid at Work certificates are valid for 3 years. We recommend refreshing your skills every year with a short update session, although this is not legally required.
-
Can I renew my First Aid at Work certificate?Yes — if your First Aid at Work certificate is still in date (or has just expired), you can take the 2-day First Aid at Work Requalification course. If it’s been expired too long, you’ll need to take the full 3-day course again. If you hold a Emergency First Aid at Work certificate, you will need to retake the 1-dau course within 3 years.
