First Aid at Work Re-qualification
Once a first aider’s qualification expires, the Health and Safety Executive no longer considers them competent to act in that role within the workplace. To avoid a shortage of qualified first aiders, we recommend arranging requalification before expiry. Individuals can requalify by attending a shortened 12-hour (two-day) course.
More information on course eligibility can be found in the course description below.

Further Information:
A First Aider can renew their FAW qualification by attending a 2-day requalification course without question, if it’s within 1 month past the expiry date.
• If the First Aider has lapsed by more than 1 month, but no longer than 3 months, then the First Aider can requalify by attending a 2-day course provided ‘Special considerations’ have been applied.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS ARE:
• A signed letter from the employer to the provider of the training stating the reasons why in their opinion, the First Aider is suitably experienced to attend a 2-day course and does not require a full 3-day FAW course OR …
• A decision is made by the provider of the training after discussions with the employer, or the First Aider, and it is decided that their previous experience is sufficient to attend a 2-day course.
• If the First Aider has lapsed beyond 3 months, then they must attend a full 3-day FAW course.
