Two-Day Level 3 Award First Aid at Work (Re-Qualification) CourseQCF Level 3 Award
A first aider can attend a re-qualification course up to three months before the expiry of their current certificate and must have completed a re-qualification course within 28 days of the expiry date of their certificate. However the new certificate will be dated three years from the expiry date of the previous FAW certificate, in both cases. Candidates will be required to produce their current First Aid at Work Certificate on the first day of the course.
DESCRIPTION - This comprehensive two-day course covers a wide range of First Aid emergencies, enabling all participants to deal with an emergency situation with confidence in a prompt, safe and effective way. It ensures the First Aider is still competent and safe plus updates them with any protocol changes. This course will maintain the participant’s qualification to the highest level of First Aid, meeting the statutory requirements of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981. We would advise all businesses to download a copy of the HSE Approved Code of Practice, L74, 2009, to refer to for more information and guidance. (Click on this link to download the L74 http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/books/l74.htm) DURATION - A minimum of 12 hours (excluding breaks,) spread over at least 2 days. Ideally, the course should be run over 2 consecutive days, but to accommodate your specific needs the course can be split over several weeks.
COST - Our Venue: £120 (Per person) Your Venue: £500 (Up to 6 Delegates), £935 (6-12 Delegates)
SYLLABUS - All training is undertaken on adult, child and baby manikins. Plus training on the use of an AED, (Automated External Defibrillator) is included as standard. However to obtain a certificate in AED an extra 1hour a day training must be completed i.e. making the course 9-5pm (7 contact hours a day.) A full range of subjects are covered, (the same as the 3 Day Course so some candidates may like to read their manual to refresh their memory before attending the course, if they do please contact us for advice as to whether any protocols have changed to ensure they do not revise out of date protocols)
Subjects included:-  Shock (including Anaphylaxis) Strains & Sprains If your organisation has a specific area of training that is not included in our syllabus , or you require a more in-depth session, then we can accommodate you by providing additional training in that particular subject. CERTIFICATION - Subject to assessment, all participants will be issued with a First Aid at Work certificate (and wallet card) approved by the Health and Safety Executive and valid for three years. This can be re-newed again by attending a suitable Two-Day Re-Qualification course. The HSE strongly recommends that all First Aiders attend an annual refresher programme of minimum three hours duration. NUMBERS - A maximum of 12 candidates can be accommodated on this course and each participant must be at least 14 years old. However a First Aider can only be officially recognised in the workplace at the age of 16 and then it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that the candidate is suitable for that role. (Larger groups can be catered for however a ratio of one instructor per 12 candidates is required so please enquire with regards to cost and availability.) ASSESSMENT - All candidates will be assessed by independent assessors on their ability to act safely, promptly and effectively for a casualty who is unresponsive, requires CPR and/or is wounded and bleeding (This is a practical test). A 12 question multiple choice paper is also included in the assessment procedure. LOCATION/ SIZE - We are able to deliver this course on your premises, as long as the area/room is suitable for the course and number of candidates. (If you do not have a suitable venue we can arrange one at a reasonable cost.)
