However, if management or yourself decide training needs to happen sooner, then that is advised.

If you complete Level Two (EHAI Programme, Primary Course in Food Safety) which is suitable for all food handlers, this certification is valid for five years.

QQI Level 5 Certification is open ended and as such, does not expire.
