Who is it for?
HSE guidelines state that employers should ensure their first aiders remain competent to perform their roles. As such, it is strongly recommended that first aiders undertake annual refresher training to practise their skills and update their knowledge on the latest first aid procedures.
The First Aid at Work Annual Refresher (QAR) qualification is specifically designed to allow qualified first aiders to update their first aid skills yearly until requalification training is required.
What will I learn?
Learners will gain renewed confidence having had the opportunity to recap on essential first aid theory and video content.
What will I be able to do?
