Level 3 first aid at work re-qualification (two day course)
A first aider can act to prevent situations becoming worse and can reduce potential sick leave through prompt emergency action. You must hold a valid certificate of competence in either first aid at work, emergency first aid at work or any other level of training or qualification that is appropriate to the circumstances.
The content of this course meets the requirements of the Health and Safety Executive and includes revision in all topics covered in the Level 3 award in first aid at work course, together with updates on any changes to legislation or best practice occurring during the last three years.
