Annual Refresher First Aid Course(E/FAW)

Although annual refresher training is not required by law, the HSE strongly recommends that First Aiders participate in annual refresher training within the three-year certification period for First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work.

The FAW and EFAW refresher training is a half-day program.

Candidates must demonstrate competence in the following areas:

Assess the emergency situation; administer first aid to a casualty who is unconscious (including seizure); administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation; administer first aid to a casualty who is wounded and bleeding; administer first aid to a casualty who is experiencing shock.
