Where it leads
Your next step.
Most people go on to First Aid at Work, the fuller three-day qualification. Emergency first aid forms part of that course, so what you have done here may count towards it — tell us what you already hold and we will confirm where you stand.
Your certificate lasts three years. An annual refresher in between is the best way to keep the skills usable.
