Annual Refresher First Aid

Click here for our public course dates

This 3-hour course is for existing First Aid at Work First Aiders and Paediatric First Aiders to help them maintain their basic skills and to keep up with any legislation changes.

This First Aid Annual Refresher is ideal for existing qualified First Aid at work First Aiders and Paediatric First Aiders that wish to freshen up their skills. Because it is a Refresher, there is less emphasis on teaching the skills from scratch, but more recap, update and practice.

It is Not a Requalification. The Certificate is valid for 1 year.

If you need to Requalify because your certificate is expiring or has expired, look at our Basic First Aid, Paediatric First Aid or First Aid at Work courses.

You can find the guidance from the HSE for all First Aid at Work courses including Refreshers (Appendix 7 at the end of the document) here:
