Excellent – Interesting, good pace, knowledgeable and friendly trainer

Course presented by Paul who has passion and enthusiasm about the topics. Good knowledge about his area of expertise and inciteful anecdotes and case studies.

The Course

First Aid CPR with Rescusi-Annie The First Aid At Work (FAW) certificate is valid for 3 years and before the expiry date first aiders will need to undertake a First Aid At Work Re-qualification course to obtain another 3 year certificate.

The re-qualification course is delivered over a minimum of 12 hours (2 days). Delegates will need to provide evidence of a current First Aid at work certificate before undertaking the course.

Although it is good practice to book your re-qualification before you current certificate expires there is a grace period of 28 days following expiry for you to re-qualify. However, after this date you will have to retake the full 3 day course in order to regain the First Aid At Work qualification.

 

A Choice of Certification

Cognet can provide a choice of certification for this course. Firstly, we offer our own certificates which are approved by the First Aid Industry Body. This reflects that we have held continuous Health and Safety Executive approval to deliver First Aid at Work Training since 1992, until de-regulation by the Government in October 2013.

In addition for those requiring a Level 3 Ofqual regulated course we are able to provide assessment and certification through Qualifications Network (QNUK)
