The certificate is valid for 3 years and is included in the price per delegate. However, within this time you can attend a 2 day re-qualification as long as your certificate is no more than 3 months to expiry or 28 days past its expiry.

Please note: The HSE strongly recommend that all first aiders have an annual refresher to maintain the skills learned from the full FAAW course. This is a 3 hour course, which is low cost and helps your company prove that they are going above and beyond requirements. Please contact us for more information.
