First Aider Training and Certificate Record

A free printable first aider certificate register — who holds what, the awarding body, certificate number, date gained, the expiry printed on it and whether a refresher is booked.

What this sheet is for

See at a glance who is currently qualified and whose certificate runs out next, instead of finding out when somebody needs one.

Who it is for

Employers, site managers, clubs, schools, care settings and volunteer groups who keep trained first aiders among their people.

How to use it

  1. Write the organisation or site, who keeps the register and the date last reviewed.
  2. Add a row per person per qualification — somebody may hold more than one.
  3. Copy the qualification name, awarding body and certificate number exactly as printed.
  4. Copy the expiry date from the certificate rather than working it out.
  5. Put a date in the refresher column as soon as a course is booked.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: Who holds which first aid qualification, who issued it, when it was gained, the expiry printed on the certificate, and whether a refresher is booked.

Dates from the certificate. Copy the expiry date from the certificate itself — this sheet does not assume how long any qualification lasts, and how many trained people a place needs is decided by whoever is responsible for it, not by this page.

Questions

Why does the sheet not say how long a certificate lasts?

Because that is set by the awarding body and differs between qualifications and between countries. The certificate itself carries the date — copy it across, and the column does the rest.

How many first aiders are needed?

This sheet does not say, and could not honestly. It depends on the place, the work and the rules where you are. It records who holds what; deciding how many is a separate judgement.

Can this cover other safety training too?

Yes. The qualification column is free text, so fire warden, defibrillator or manual handling training can sit in the same register if that suits you.
