Level 3 Award in First Aid (FAW) Re-qualification
This course is for those whom already hold the 3-day First Aid at Work award and it is nearing its expiration date.
A condensed version of the 3 day FAW is completed.
If the expiration date is within one month, the course can be completed. If the one month period has lapsed but it has not exceeded three months the delegate can requalify with the 2-day course with the following special considerations.
Special considerations:
- A signed letter from the employer to First Aid Buddies Ltd providing an explanation as to why the delegate is suitably experienced.
- A decision is made by First Aid Buddies after discussions with the employer, or the potential delegate, and deciding that the delegate is suitably experienced.
If three months have passed from the qualification expiration date, then the delegate must attend a 3-day FAW.
