Coursekeeper · For first aid trainers · UK‑wide, based in Fareham
First aid training, booked, certified and back to requalify
A first aid certificate runs out after three years, and the business that reminds people first is usually the one that gets the requalification. Coursekeeper takes the bookings, issues the certificates and does the reminding, so your learners come back to you.

What's included
- First Aid at Work, Emergency First Aid at Work, requalification and refresher courses, each on its own page with its dates and places left.
- The two-day First Aid at Work requalification checks the certificate is still in date before anyone books it.
- An employer books their whole team in one go, with a name against each place, and gets one VAT invoice.
- A register on the day, the result recorded, and the certificate on record with its number and expiry date - the awarding body's for a regulated qualification, your own for anything else.
- A reminder before each certificate expires, with your next requalification dates in it, sent to the learner and their employer.
- Every certificate you've issued on record, so you can answer an employer's question or reissue a lost one in a minute.
Built round how first aid training runs
HSE's guidance puts First Aid at Work and Emergency First Aid at Work certificates at three years. First Aid at Work is renewed with a two-day requalification before it expires, Emergency First Aid at Work by taking the one-day course again, and HSE strongly recommends an annual refresher in between. So every learner has a reason to come back every year, and each one is a chance to lose them to whoever reminds them first.
Requalify before it lapses
The two-day requalification needs a First Aid at Work certificate that's still in date. Coursekeeper knows when each one runs out and asks the right question at booking.
Refreshers that come round on their own
A nudge at the end of the first and second year, for the annual refresher, with your dates in it.
Employers see who's due
A company with ten first aiders sees whose certificates run out when, and books the requalifications together.
Records you can show
Employers choosing a provider check its trainers and its records. Who trained whom, when, with what result and which awarding body's certificate is all in one place.

Can an employer book a whole team?
