How long is the Annual First Aid Refresher in Bradford?

The Bradford session runs for 3 hours and is delivered in a single half-day, either morning or afternoon. There's no exam — it's a hands-on practical top-up between full requalifications.

Who is this refresher course for in Bradford?

Anyone in Bradford who already holds a current Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) or First Aid at Work (FAW) certificate and wants to keep their practical skills sharp between 3-yearly requalifications.

Does the Annual Refresher replace my EFAW or FAW requalification?

No. The Bradford refresher complements your full certificate — it does not extend or replace it. HSE strongly recommends an annual refresher between requalifications, but you'll still need to requalify every 3 years. If your team is based around Euroway Industrial Estate or elsewhere in Bradford, our trainers travel to your site for closed groups of 6+.

What topics are practised on the Bradford refresher?

We focus on the high-stakes skills that fade fastest: CPR on adult and child manikins, AED use, choking, severe bleeding control, the unresponsive casualty and the primary survey. Almost entirely practical.

Is the Bradford refresher HSE-aligned?

Yes. The syllabus follows HSE guidance for annual refresher training, designed for current EFAW and FAW certificate holders who want to maintain confidence in the skills they rarely use day-to-day.

Do I receive a certificate after the Bradford refresher?

Yes. Every learner receives an attendance certificate confirming completion of the 3-hour annual refresher. It is not a requalification, but it is excellent evidence of ongoing competence.

Can you deliver the Annual First Aid Refresher on-site in Bradford?

Absolutely. We run open courses at central Bradford venues and can bring the session to your office, warehouse, school or construction site anywhere in Bradford and the surrounding area.

How many people can you train in a single Bradford refresher session?

Open courses in Bradford typically welcome up to 12 learners. For on-site sessions we can accommodate larger groups — just let us know your numbers and we'll quote accordingly.

What should I bring to the Bradford refresher course?

Just comfortable clothing — you'll be practising CPR on the floor. We supply manikins, AED trainers, bandages, and all course materials. Please bring your current EFAW or FAW certificate if you have it.

Can I book the Bradford refresher for a group?

Yes. Group bookings are welcome on our open Bradford dates, and we can also arrange private sessions at your premises. Contact us for group rates and preferred dates.

Is the Bradford refresher suitable for school and nursery staff?

Yes. If school or nursery staff hold an in-date EFAW or paediatric first aid certificate, this refresher helps keep their skills current. We use child manikins where appropriate.

How often should I attend a refresher?

HSE recommends an annual refresher for all workplace first aiders. It is voluntary, but it is the best way to keep skills fresh between the mandatory 3-year requalification courses. Most of our annual first aid refresher learners in Bradford come from teams around the City Park and Little Germany area — book here and we'll run the session at a venue close by.

Where exactly in Bradford do you run open refresher courses?

We use accessible, well-connected training venues in and around central Bradford. Exact address and directions are confirmed on your booking confirmation.

Why Train in Bradford?

Bradford is one of the UK's largest manufacturing cities, with strong concentrations of employers in food production, textiles, engineering, chemicals, logistics and healthcare. Under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981, every Bradford employer must complete a first-aid needs assessment and provide 'adequate and appropriate' cover — for low-risk offices in the city centre a one-day Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) certificate is normally sufficient, while warehouses, factories and care settings around Euroway, Laisterdyke and Keighley typically need the three-day FAW. Training locally at our Cedar Court Hotel venue on Mayo Avenue (BD5 8HW) keeps staff close to the workplace, reduces travel time off the M606/M62, and produces an recognised course recognised by the HSE for three years.

Bradford is a significant economic centre within West Yorkshire, known for its strong manufacturing heritage and a growing professional services sector. With a large and diverse workforce across many industries, organisations have a clear responsibility under the Health & Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 to ensure an adequate number of trained first aiders are present.

Getting here

Our Bradford venue, Cedar Court Hotel on Mayo Avenue (BD5 8HW), sits just off the M606 at the Staygate roundabout — around 13 minutes from the M62 at Hartshead Moor Services and easily reached from Halifax, Huddersfield, Leeds and Wakefield. On-site parking is supplemented by YourParkingSpace one minute away, and the Rooley Lane and St Matthew's School bus stops are a 7-minute walk. Bradford Interchange and Forster Square stations are a short taxi ride into the city centre, with frequent Northern and Grand Central services from Leeds, Halifax, Skipton, Ilkley and London King's Cross.

Onsite first aid training in Bradford — workplace EFAW for your team

We run onsite first aid training across Bradford and the surrounding area — your venue, your team, your schedule.

HSE strongly recommends an annual refresher between full Emergency First Aid at Work or First Aid at Work requalifications. This Bradford session is built around hands-on practice rather than theory, with small groups, adult and child manikins and a live AED trainer. It complements (it does not replace) your 3-year certificate.
