FAW03 First Aid at Work - Refresher

Course Aim
The First Aid Regulations 1981 require employees to provide sufficient trained first aid personnel for their workplace. This course is designed to “refresh” those delegates who are already designated “First Aider at Work”. The delegates will therefore still be in possession of a valid 3-year certificate.

An independent assessor will deem delegates competent.

The subject matter covered will allow delegates to refresh their skills and be updated on any new techniques or knowledge.
