Certification

​

Summative practical assessment is ongoing by the instructor during the day, along with a written assessment at the end of the day. A three year Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (Level 6 in Scotland) will be issued to the learner, subject to successful assessment. No external assessment is required. In addition, the HSE strongly recommend that all students undergo an annual refresher programme of three hours.

​

Numbers

​

A maximum of 12 students are allowed and must be a minimum of 14 years of age and a certificate can be offered to all, subject to assessment. 

A student cannot assume a responsibility in the workplace until they reach the age of 16, and it is then the employers' responsibility to ensure that the student is suitable for that role.

​

The certificate will expire as dated on the certificate, irrespective of age.
