Although not compulsory, many health and fitness practioners feel it is important to hold a full first aid qualification, due to the nature of their work and the different environments they work in. Instructors are expected to know if they need first aid training for their role and to gain the certification if necessary.
REPs has over 28,000 members all of who are required to undertake mandatory training, in order to maintain their CPD credits. However, many of whom currently don't take first aid training as it doesn't help them meet their credit requirements.
A first aid training licence means that your first aid training course will be endorsed and eligble to have REPs CPD points accrediated to it.
