A current First Aid at Work certificate must be shown to the instructor on the first day of training to ensure eligibility and the course completed within 28 days of the certificate expiry date. This course may be attended, however, up to three months before the certificate expiry date. Subject to completion of the course and final assessment, delegates will receive a nationally recognised H.S.E. approved First Aid at Work certificate which is valid for three years and will be able to respond to an accident or illness in the workplace safely and effectively.
