To be eligible to attend an HSE two-day Requalification course, students must present a valid First aid at work certificate issued by an HSE-approved provider which is ‘in date’ on the last day of the Requalification course. ‘In date’ means the period within three months prior to the original certificate expiry date. The HSE allows a maximum of 28 days from the expiry date of the certificate to complete requalification training and assessment.

All course fees are subject to the current VAT (valid exemptions only).

12. Distance Selling Regulations 2000
We abide by the applicable elements of the Distance Selling Regulations 2000.

13. Guidelines for students and employers
It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that students are free from any condition which would affect their capability to undertake their chosen course, and that they have the aptitude to cope with an intensive course of study. We welcome students with disabilities but it remains their employer’s responsibility to ensure that they are appropriately supported in their workplace. Zurbel Training would welcome in advance, for setup purposes, notification of any assistance that a student is likely to need during the running of the course.

If it is felt that the student doesn’t meet the learning outcomes of the course and or assessment process and is referred, they will be offered a free assessment. Any further training or coaching over and above that provided on the course may be charged for.
