FAW certificates are valid for three years. However, a first-aider can attend an FAW requalification course up to three months before the expiry date on their certificate. The new certificate will then be effective from that expiry date. Where this has not been possible, HSE will allow an extension of the certificate for 28 days beyond the expiry date, within which a requalification course should be completed. A first-aider re-qualifying within a period of certificate extension will have their new certificate dated from the expiry date of the previous one. Any first-aider, who is not able to complete a requalification course up to a maximum of 28 days after the expiry date of their three-year certificate, will be required to retake a full FAW course.

For training held at your own location please ensure you make available a suitable room, which can comfortably accommodate with seating the number of delegates attending. We will also require a 240v power supply
