Assessment
Your trainer will assess you throughout the course through practical demonstrations and participation. At the end, you will need to complete a short multiple-choice test, the pass rate of which is 80%.
Requalification
Learners who successfully complete the course will hold a recognised Emergency First Aid at Work Certificate for a period of three years. However, the HSE strongly recommends that First Aiders complete an annual refresher course to keep skills sharp and up to date.
