Do note that, as with all NZQA standards, credits earned from this course do not expire, however WorkSafe recommends respective certifications require renewal to remain relevant, this can be adhered to via attending the refresher course within 2 years of completing a first aid level 1 course or alternatively repeating this course should the expiration date be exceeded.

Assessors must confirm the participants’ ability to demonstrate the correct incident response from a first aid context. The assessment is accounted for within the 4-hour session.
