Where it leads
An important distinction.
Refresher training keeps your skills current, but it does not extend your certificate. When your three years are nearly up you will still need First Aid at Work Requalification.
In practice the cycle looks like this: qualify, refresh after year one, refresh after year two, requalify in year three.
