Special considerations are:
A signed letter from the employer to the training provider stating reasons why the delegate is suitably experienced to attend the 2-day and does not require the full 3-day course
A signed letter from the employer to the training provider stating reasons why the delegate is suitably experienced to attend the 2-day and does not require the full 3-day course
OR
A decision can be made at the trainer’s discretion after discussion with the employer/delegate about suitability to attend a 2-day course.

It is important to remember, that as soon as the certificate expires, the delegate is considered no longer competent to act as First Aider in the work place. Requalification ideally should be arranged BEFORE certificate expires.
