Recertification & Skill Retention

Recertification & Skill Retention

Many safety certifications, including CPR, AED, First Aid, and Fire Extinguisher Training, have expiration dates and require recertification every 1 to 2 years, depending on the course and regulatory body. Even when certifications remain valid, the skills learned are highly perishable without regular practice. We recommend annual refresher training to maintain readiness, reinforce proper techniques, and stay current with the latest safety standards. Contact us to schedule a refresher course or set up a recertification plan for your team.

Their knowledge, expertise and hands-on approach to training have been a huge asset to the Commission.
