Does anyone know if it is necessary to keep the original certificates after doing refresher courses?

No. You need the original to prove you are qualified to do the refresher, therefore the refresher is now the valid certificate. However, I would not throw them away, just not carry them with me.....

yup I would carry them as proof its only 4 pages of paper, exception would be if you did a similar course to me were the pst wasn't a refresher half day but just a repeat full courseyou can take it with a pinch of salt, but i prefer it with a nip of whisky

I was quite happy when I got my refresher certificate in Oz, just one certificate with all the 4 qualifications listed on it, now how simple is that? Why do we need four pieces of paper when one can suffice and in actual fact you in Oz you can get them endorsed onto your CoC so you don't even need to carry those pieces of paper.
Time for the MCA to get up to date. Perhaps even issuing CoC's that look like a drivers license and endorsing all your certificate onto the back!
