Your SFA Advanced Qualification is valid for two years from the date of issuance and is perpetually renewable through maintenance of CPR/first aid requirements and completion of appropriate continuing education courses.

So once you have earned your Advanced Qualification, you will need to renew it every two years. Instructions and a renewal application form are included in your SFA program materials. A printable "PDF" copy is available on our website at Renew A.Q.

At renewal time, you'll need to submit:

1. Proof that you have completed 2.0 units*  (20 Hours) of SFA-approved continuing education credits that were earned during the applicable two-year interim.
2. Proof of current CPR and first aid certification.
3. Payment of a $55.00 renewal fee.
