Upon successfully completing the course, delegates will be awarded an RQF certificate, which will be valid for three years.
Delegates are continuously evaluated during the course through a variety of hands-on demonstrations, interactive question and answer sessions, quizzes, and engaging activities like roleplay. These activities are designed to guide and assist delegates in gaining the necessary skills and ensure they can apply their knowledge safely within their workplace.
The first aid at work course is often referred to as a level 3 qualification. This is because the length and complexity of the skills covered meet the requirements for a level 3 qualification on the Recognised Qualifications Framework (RQF).
