Annual First Aid Refresher in Cardiff
Our three-hour First Aid Refresher in Cardiff is the ideal skills top-up for staff working across the capital’s thriving sectors, from the creative studios at BBC Cymru Wales to the busy professional offices of the Admiral Group. Held at the Mercure Cardiff North just off the M4 at Junction 30, this session is perfectly positioned for teams travelling from Newport, Barry, or Caerphilly. As a recognised training provider, we deliver HSE-recommended practical sessions designed to keep your life-saving confidence high between your main certification dates. Note: this 3-hour refresher tops up your skills between certificates — it does not renew your in-date First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work qualification.

First aid training across Greater Cardiff and surrounding areas
Our trainers run public Emergency First Aid at Work, First Aid at Work, Paediatric First Aid and Mental Health First Aid courses at central Cardiff venues throughout the year — with on-site delivery available anywhere across the wider region. Whether you're booking a single seat or training a whole team, you'll get a practical, HSE-aligned session led by an experienced instructor.
We support employers, schools, nurseries, charities and event organisers right across Greater Cardiff, from city-centre offices to industrial sites on the outskirts. On-site team training keeps your people in their own environment, cuts travel time to zero and works out significantly cheaper per person than sending staff to public courses — ideal for groups of six or more.
Why Train in Cardiff?
Cardiff is the capital of Wales and the commercial, media and public sector heart of the South Wales region, with major NHS, Welsh Government, university, BBC Cymru Wales, financial services, retail and hospitality employers concentrated in the city centre, Cardiff Bay and the M4 corridor. Training Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) locally — at the Mercure Cardiff North on Circle Way East (CF23 9XF), just off Junction 30 of the M4 — keeps staff inside the CF postcode area, saves cross-border travel time, and lets us deliver on-site closed courses across the wider South Wales region for groups of 6 or more.
As the capital of Wales, Cardiff boasts a dynamic economy ranging from major public services and financial institutions to a burgeoning media sector. For all Welsh businesses, fulfilling the first-aid duties mandated by the HSE is a crucial legal obligation to protect both staff and the public.

The Mercure Cardiff North training venue is just off Junction 30 of the M4 with free on-site parking, and the Queenwood bus stop is a 5-minute walk away.
