The training and assessment typically consists of a two day (12+ hour) course. The online element to the course (6 hours) is assessed by completion of a workbook that must be completed before the face-to-face practical sessions. This will be sent to you to complete upon booking the course. 

Students are assessed continuously by tutor observation of ‘real-life’ skills in a friendly and supportive way. There are no written tests to complete at the end of the course as the outcomes are assessed by demonstration of practical first aid in our fun and interactive scenario-based approach throughout the day.

This certificate is valid for three years and certificate renewal is by completion of another First Aid at Work Re qualification training course.
