How long is the Annual First Aid Refresher in Liverpool?

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

Who is this refresher course for in Liverpool?

Anyone in Liverpool 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 Liverpool refresher complements your full certificate — it does not extend or replace it. HSE strongly recommends an annual refresher between requalifications, but you will still need to requalify every 3 years.

What skills are practised during the 3-hour session in Liverpool?

The Liverpool refresher rehearses CPR for adults, safe use of an AED, managing choking, controlling severe bleeding, handling an unresponsive casualty, and treating burns and seizures. You will practise on manikins and training AED units in realistic scenarios.

Is the Annual First Aid Refresher HSE recognised in Liverpool?

Yes. The Liverpool course is HSE-aligned and designed to meet the Health and Safety Executive's recommendation that all workplace first aiders complete an annual practical refresher to keep their skills current and confident.

Can I attend if my certificate is close to expiry in Liverpool?

You can attend the Liverpool refresher while your certificate is still valid, but it does not extend the expiry date. If your certificate is about to expire, you should book a full EFAW or FAW requalification course instead.

Will I receive a certificate after the Liverpool refresher?

Yes. After completing the 3-hour Liverpool refresher, you will receive a certificate of attendance that records the skills practised and the date. This is ideal for workplace first-aid compliance records.

Do you deliver on-site at Liverpool workplaces?

Absolutely. We can run the Annual First Aid Refresher at your Liverpool workplace or training room, with dates and times that fit your shift patterns. Group discounts apply for bookings of 6 or more.

How many first aiders should attend from a Liverpool business?

HSE guidance suggests that every appointed first aider should attend an annual refresher. In practice, most Liverpool businesses send their full first-aid team — typically 2 to 6 people depending on the size of the workplace and risk level.

What should I bring to the Liverpool refresher session?

Just comfortable clothing you can move in. All training equipment — manikins, AED trainers, bandages and first-aid kits — is provided at the Liverpool venue. There is no written test, so you do not need a notebook.

How often should first aiders take this refresher in Liverpool?

HSE recommends at least one 3-hour practical refresher every year for every appointed first aider in Liverpool. This keeps skills fresh, improves muscle memory, and gives employers confidence that their first-aid cover is genuinely current.

Can individuals book the Liverpool refresher, or is it group only?

Both options are available. Individuals can join one of our scheduled open sessions in Liverpool, or we can arrange a private group course at your premises for teams of any size.

How do I book the Annual First Aid Refresher in Liverpool?

You can book online through our Liverpool course page, call our bookings team, or request a group quote for on-site training. Scheduled dates fill quickly, so early booking is recommended.

Why book your Annual First Aid Refresher in Liverpool?

Liverpool sits at the heart of the Liverpool City Region — a regional economy of over 1.5 million people spanning the city, Sefton, Knowsley, St Helens, Halton and the Wirral. The compliance burden on local employers is significant: NHS trusts, two universities, the Port of Liverpool, Jaguar Land Rover at Halewood, Liverpool ONE and the Albert Dock hospitality scene all need a steady supply of certified first aiders under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981. Choosing a Liverpool training provider keeps travel time and downtime to a minimum, and means your team trains close to the workplace they will be delivering first aid in.

As a major economic centre in North West England, Liverpool's diverse economy spans from global shipping and logistics to pioneering life sciences in the Knowledge Quarter. This breadth of commercial activity means businesses of all types must have an appropriate number of qualified first aiders to comply with the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981.

Getting here
