What's covered

Every session is practical, and tailored to the way your team actually works.

  • CPR and AED use, practised again to current guidance
  • The unresponsive casualty and recovery position
  • Choking
  • Paediatric version: infant and child CPR and choking

Questions

Anything else, just call us on 0151 558 1470.

Does this replace requalification?

No. The annual refresher keeps skills current within the three-year cycle; first aiders still need to requalify before their main certificate expires.

Is refresher training a legal requirement?

It is strongly recommended by the HSE rather than legally required. Most organisations do it because skills fade quickly, and because it demonstrates a serious approach to competence.

How long does it take?

Three guided learning hours — typically a morning or an afternoon, which keeps disruption to a minimum.
