When Does First Aid Certification Expire?

When does my first aid certification expire?First Aid at Work certification will expire after 3 years of completion of the First Aid at Work course. Plenty of people have completed their First Aid at Work course and soon forget when their certificate expires. This then could lead to the qualification becoming invalid if they overrun their three years without requalifying. If so you will not have any evidence showing that they have the competence to provide First Aid.

If you have a First Aid certificate you must take notice of the date of the certificate. After three years your qualification first aid certification will expire and you will need to, therefore, sit a requalification course.

How long is a First Aid Refresher Course?

A First Aid Refresher or First Aid Requalification course last for 2-days of classroom training; approximately 12 hours.

Can you requalify your First Aid training online?
