- **Event Description**: Course Overview and Objectives:
This refresher course is available to people who hold an in-date PHECC FAR certificate.


This First Aid Response (FAR) course is recognised by the Irish Health and Safety Authority as meeting the requirements of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007.


The standard of this course meets the requirements for first aid in the workplace. It is also useful to people who may need to use first aid in the context of their family, their social network and their sporting activities.


Prerequisites:
Please check the expiry date on your current FAR certificate. FAR certificates are valid for 2 years. After they expire, there is a 30-day grace period during which you can still attend a refresher course.
To be eligible for this refresher course, the final day of the course must fall within that 2-year and 30-day window. If your certificate will be expired for more than 30 days by the time the course ends, you are not eligible to attend and will need to complete the full 3-day FAR course instead.
This is a strict requirement of the certification body. It is not possible for us to submit anyone for recertification if their certificate has already expired upon course completion.
If your certificate will be expired for more than 30 days at the time of course completion, you will need to complete the full 3-day FAR course instead.
