Successful candidates will be awarded a First Aid Instructor qualification valid for three years on completion of the course.
WorkSafe operate an ongoing quality assurance system to ensure first aid trainers and organisations can meet the ‘Due Diligence’ checks required by the HSE when selecting a first aid training provider. This system requires instructors to undertake an annual renewal process and comply with our quality control systems including verification visits and audits. Full details can be found elsewhere on this website. There is no cost for annual renewal as either an instructor or training provider providing a minimum number of courses are delivered annually.
