Does health and safety training expire?

Depending on the required skill set certain training courses can have set expiry periods.

As an example an appointed first aider within most businesses can actually go three years before any refresher training is required. However 3 years is a long time if you haven't been practicing!

Therefore, online first aid training can be completed easily every 12 months in order to maintain the basic knowledge and skills required.

For fire safety refresher training this would be expected every year and for all staff.

Other training disciplines may vary, however, if training can be refreshed at least once a year this helps maintain your personal skill sets.
