A: A First Aid at Work certificate is valid for 3 years. The HSE recommends that first aiders complete annual refresher training during this period to help maintain their skills and confidence.

Q: What happens if my FAW certificate has expired?
A: If your FAW certificate has expired, you are no longer considered competent to act as a workplace first aider. You may still be able to complete the 2-day FAW Requalification course; however, where a considerable period has passed since expiry, the full FAW may be more appropriate. Contact us, and we'll help you determine the appropriate training route.
