Employers are required by law to ensure their first aiders are competent and maintain their skills throughout the three years in which their certificates are valid. This is why the Health and Safety Executive advice is that first aiders attend an annual refresher course during this three year period.
This half day refresher course is therefore suitable for currently qualified first aiders only. The course builds on the participants’ expertise and confidence and provides them with ample opportunities to practice and update their skills and knowledge.
Please note, the course does not renew first aid certificates, or extend the validity period of certificates. It is for practice and refreshing skills only.
Syllabus

Should you have any questions relating to the accessibility of this course please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Appropriate clothing should be worn so as not to hinder movement.
