Course Overview
The Blended QNUK Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work Requalification is for existing workplace first aiders who need to renew a valid qualification before it expires.
Learners complete the theory online before attending one face-to-face practical training and assessment day. The practical session refreshes incident assessment, CPR, AED use, casualty management and the treatment of serious injuries and medical emergencies.
The blended format reduces time away from work without reducing the practical focus of the requalification. Our trainers create a supportive environment where experienced first aiders can update their knowledge, practise their skills and rebuild confidence.
Choosing the right first aid course: Employers should use a first-aid needs assessment to decide whether First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work is the most appropriate level of training and how many trained first aiders are required.
Who Should Attend?
Suitable for learners who hold a valid First Aid at Work certificate and need to requalify before it expires. The online learning must be completed before the face-to-face practical day.
