You might have completed your First Aid or CPR training a while ago. Now, you may be wondering when you need to renew it. Knowing when to refresh your training can help you stay prepared for work, study or workplace requirements.
In Australia, CPR skills are commonly refreshed every 12 months. First Aid training is commonly refreshed every three years. However, the requirements can vary by role, industry and jurisdiction.
So, how long does a First Aid and CPR certificate last? Let’s look at the recommended renewal periods, refresher options and what to do when your training is no longer current.
