This qualification is developed to support first aiders in the workplace by providing more comprehensive understanding of first aid along with an understanding of how important medical/environmental intelligence is when dealing with a range of causalities. In line with industry guidance, the qualification supports first aiders for a period of 3 years, at which point learners will need to resit the course. In addition, we recommend that learners refresh their knowledge annually.
