Description:

This is an HSE approved course to comply with the First Aid at Work regulations for First Aider in the workplace. The course covers primary and secondary care including a mix of theory and practical tasks. It must be carried out by an approved instructor. It is 18 contact hours and conducted over a minimum of 3 days (although can be longer as long as each lesson at least 2 hours contact time). The certificate is valid for 3 years and then you can attend a 2 day requalification as long as your certificate is still in date. You will be assessed on completion of the course by 1 or 2 assessors (not the instructor). This course must be taught 100% in classroom and not online. The HSE recommend that all first aiders complete an annual first aid refresher course and our online course meets this requirement.
