Certification

There is no formal written or practical examination for this course however trainers use continuous assessment to evaluate candidate’s attainment. Certificates of attendance are issued which are valid for 3 years.

Within any certification period HSENI strongly recommends that trainees undertake annual refresher training. This will help maintain first aid basic skills and keep to date with any changes to first aid procedures and protocols. This currently is left very much to the discretion of the employer.
