How long is the Annual First Aid Refresher in Wrexham?

The Wrexham 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 Wrexham?

Anyone in Wrexham 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 Wrexham 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 the A483 / Deeside corridor or elsewhere in Wrexham, our trainers travel to your site for closed groups of 6+.

What topics are practised on the Wrexham 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 Wrexham 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 Wrexham 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 Wrexham?

Absolutely. We run open courses at central Wrexham venues serving employers across north Wales and the borderlands and can bring the session to your office, warehouse, school or construction site anywhere in Wrexham and the surrounding area.

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

Open courses in Wrexham 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 Wrexham 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 Wrexham refresher for a group?

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

Is the Wrexham 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. Learners from the Glyndŵr University area and the wider Wrexham area sit this course with us each month — the content and certificate are the same wherever you're based.

Where exactly in Wrexham do you run open refresher courses?

We use accessible, well-connected training venues in and around central Wrexham venues serving employers across north Wales and the borderlands. Exact address and directions are confirmed on your booking confirmation.

Why Train in Wrexham?

Wrexham is one of the largest manufacturing and logistics hubs in Wales, home to Wrexham Industrial Estate (the second-largest in the UK), Wrexham Technology Park and major employers such as Kellogg's, JCB, Kronospan, Ipsen Biopharm, Moneypenny and Wrexham Maelor Hospital. Training locally keeps your team compliant with the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 without losing hours to travel into Chester or Liverpool.

With its newly awarded city status and a strong industrial heritage, Wrexham has a robust manufacturing and service economy. For employers, particularly those on the large industrial estate, providing adequate first aid response as required by the HSE is a critical safety and legal priority.

Getting here

Hotel Wrexham is just off the A534 / B5130 with free on-site parking. Wrexham General railway station (2.2 miles) offers direct services to Chester (25 min), Shrewsbury (40 min) and onward connections to Liverpool, Manchester and Cardiff via Transport for Wales. The A483 dual carriageway links Wrexham to the A55 North Wales Expressway (M53/M56) and south to the M54, making us easy to reach from Chester, Mold, Ruabon, Oswestry and Llangollen.
