First Aid at Work Requalification:
Please note that, due to the impact of Coronavirus, from 3 August 2020 onwards, Day One of Requalification is being conducted via online training. Day Two dates for face-to-face training are noted below.
Update from Training Provider as of 15 February 2022:
Face coverings will be at the choice of the individual wearer (trainers and students).
Face coverings do not need to be worn as long as a safe distance can be retained between individuals.
However, the training provider will adhere to the other guidance at present in their setting, such as sanitisation of equipment, hand sanitising, no rescue breaths, etc
For close work, the training provider would suggest that students wear a face covering out of mutual duty of care to each other.
Currently, class sizes remain the same in terms of restricted numbers etc.
All of the above is subject to change depending on regulations etc.
