First Aid at Work Requalification in Cambridge

Cambridge is a global hub for life sciences, technology and academic research, with employers ranging from biotech start-ups on Granta Park and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus through to colleges, language schools and creative agencies in the historic centre. Under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 every Cambridge employer must complete a first-aid needs assessment — for low-risk offices, labs with good engineering controls and educational settings a one-day Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) certificate is normally sufficient, while higher-hazard sites typically need the three-day FAW. Training locally at our Holiday Inn Cambridge venue in Impington (CB24 9PH), just off the A14 at Histon, keeps researchers and office staff close to the workplace and produces an recognised course recognised by the HSE for three years.

Our Cambridge venue, Holiday Inn Cambridge on Bridge Road in Impington (CB24 9PH), sits at Histon roundabout on the A14 — around 13 minutes from Cambridge Services and easily reached from Huntingdon, Ely, Newmarket and the M11. On-site parking is supplemented by YourParkingSpace at the Holiday Inn just 2 minutes away. The Highfield Road bus stop is an 8-minute walk with frequent Stagecoach Citi routes into central Cambridge and out to the Science Park, and the Guided Busway P&R is a short hop away. Cambridge North and Cambridge stations give direct rail access from London King's Cross, Stansted Airport and Ely.

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

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

Our trainers regularly deliver on-site First Aid at Work Requalification courses across Cambridge and Cambridgeshire — the Cambridge Science Park, the Cambridge Biomedical Campus (including Addenbrooke's), West Cambridge, Granta Park, Babraham Research Campus, the Cambridge Research Park (Waterbeach), St John's Innovation Park, Histon, Impington, Cherry Hinton, Trumpington, Ely, Newmarket, St Ives, Huntingdon, Saffron Walden, Royston, Haverhill and St Neots. The 2-day requalification is the right choice for first aiders whose existing 3-day FAW certificate is approaching expiry or has recently lapsed within HSE guidance. If your certificate has expired beyond the grace period, you will need the full 3-day First Aid at Work course instead.

Book your First Aid at Work Requalification course in Cambridge. This 2-day, 12-hour HSE-aligned refresher training is for first aiders whose existing FAW certificate is still in date or within the HSE-recommended grace period. It renews your workplace first aid qualification for another 3 years, with an annual half-day refresher recommended by HSE. Public courses run at our Cambridge training venue, the Holiday Inn Cambridge on Bridge Road in Impington (CB24 9PH), right at the Histon junction of the A14 with on-site parking, and we deliver on-site group requalification training across Cambridge including the Cambridge Science Park, the Biomedical Campus (Addenbrooke's), West Cambridge, Granta Park, Babraham, the Cambridge Research Park, St John's Innovation Park, Ely, Newmarket, St Ives, Huntingdon, Saffron Walden, Royston and St Neots. Learners revisit primary survey, CPR and AED use, choking, severe bleeding and shock, burns, fractures, head and spinal injuries, chest, abdominal and pelvic injuries, poisoning, anaphylaxis, asthma, diabetic emergencies, seizures and unresponsive casualty management, with continuous practical assessment and short written question papers. Once renewed, you will be First Aid at Work qualified for a further 3 years — a workplace certificate accepted by HSE, CQC, Ofsted and Cambridge-based clients across life sciences, biotech, R&D, technology and the NHS.
