Keep Your First Aid Skills Sharp
First aid skills can fade without regular practice. Our annual refresher courses are designed to keep your knowledge current and your confidence high between full requalification courses.
The HSE strongly recommends that first aiders undertake annual refresher training to ensure they remain competent throughout the 3-year validity of their certificate. This short course revisits the most critical skills including CPR, choking response, and managing bleeding.
Whether it's been 6 months or 2 years since your last training, a refresher course helps ensure you're ready to respond effectively when someone needs your help.

What Our Learners Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what people who've completed this course have to say.
"Did the paediatric first aid course last month and honestly wish I'd done it years ago. The instructor was brilliant - really patient and made everyone feel comfortable asking questions. Feel so much more confident now knowing what to do if something happens with the kids."
Emma Richards
"Running a busy café means anything can happen. Burns, choking, slips - we've had the lot. This course gave me and my staff the confidence to handle emergencies properly. Money well spent."
Sarah Jones
Pebble Beach Café
"I'm 67 and look after my grandchildren two days a week. Was a bit nervous about doing the course but the instructor made it so easy to follow. Now I feel prepared rather than panicked. Worth every penny."
