About our First Aid at Work Requalification Course

Our First Aid at Work Requalification course is only available to those who have successfully completed the full 3-day First Aid at Work qualification within the last three years. To remain qualified, delegates should complete this 2-day course before their current certificate expires. As part of our customer care programme, we will contact you when this is due to ensure that you remain compliant. 

Did you know? We also provide this course via blended learning, which consists of 1 day of e-learning, and 1 day in the classroom for practical work and assessment.

Certification

Upon successful completion of this training course, delegates will receive a St John Ambulance Cymru certificate, valid for 3 years. This will enable you to remain a qualified workplace first aider for a further three years.

St John Ambulance Cymru is a trusted and leading training provider in Wales. In the UK, St John Ambulance is one of the voluntary aid societies (VAS) recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) as standard setters for first aid training, in accordance with the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981. We do not require external accreditation through an awarding organisation.

First aider certificates are valid for three years. To remain qualified, you must complete a requalification course before your certificate expires. According to the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981, expired certificates are no longer valid, meaning you cannot act as a workplace first aider until you requalify.

Yes. It is recommended that first aiders refresh their skills regularly to prevent skills fade. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) advises annual update training between qualifications. If you need a refresher, our First Aid at Work Update course can help maintain your knowledge and confidence.

Yes, the requalification course content is regularly updated to incorporate any changes or updates in regulations prescribed by the first aid industry body. This ensures that participants are well informed about the latest guidelines, especially in the context of handling an emergency first aid situation.

No, there is not. Once your First Aid at Work qualification expires, you will no longer be a qualified first aider for your workplace. If this happens, you will need to take our 3-day First Aid at Work course to become a certified first aider again.

This course is aligned with the latest health and safety regulations, including current Health and Safety Executive (HSE) first aid guidance. It is regularly updated to reflect changes in best practice and procedures, ensuring delegates remain compliant and maintain valid first aid certification.

We teach this first aid training course at our centres conveniently located across Wales. If you have six or more employees that need to take this training, then one of our expert trainers can come to your business to teach the course.
