How Long Does the First Aid at Work Certificate Last For?
HSE Requalification and Certification Policy 1. Certificate Extensions (‘dispensations’) Employers have the responsibility to ensure that first aiders with a current 3 year First Aid at Work certificate attend a requalification course within the 3 month period prior to the certificate expiry date. However, where this has not been possible, HSE will allow an extension of the original First Aid at Work certificate for 28 days beyond the expiry date, within which a requalification course should be undertaken. There is no need to contact HSE to request this extension. During the extension period, HSE will continue to recognise the FAW qualification and the first aider will continue to be a suitable person that the employer can use for the purpose of providing first aid to employees. Any first aider who is not able to undertake a requalification course up to a maximum of 28 days after the expiry date of their 3 year certificate will be required to retake a full 4 day FAW course.
