Qualification Purpose
HSE guidelines state that employers should ensure their first aiders remain competent to perform their role. 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.
Over a half day period, Learners will leave with a renewed confidence having had the opportunity to practise essential first aid procedures, including:
- managing an unresponsive casualty
- CPR
- wounds and bleeding
- shock and more
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.
