Annual First Aid Refresher in Leicester
Keep your lifesaving skills sharp at our Leicester training centre, situated at the Holiday Inn Leicester Wigston. This three-hour refresher is specifically designed for staff across the East Midlands, from those in the city’s historic textile and food manufacturing sectors to teams at the University of Leicester. It provides a vital skills top-up to ensure you remain confident and competent in high-pressure situations, adhering to HSE-recommended best practice for the workplace. 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 Leicester 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 Leicester 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 Leicester, 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 Leicester?
Leicester is one of the UK's most diverse economies — a major centre for textiles and garment manufacturing, food production and FMCG, logistics and distribution at Magna Park and along the M1/M69 corridor, professional and financial services in the city centre and at Meridian Business Park, two universities (Leicester and De Montfort), University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, and significant retail at Highcross and Fosse Park. Choosing a local EFAW provider means your first-aid training reflects the real risks your staff face — whether that's a cardiac emergency in a Highcross store, a slip or trip in a Fosse Park warehouse, a manual-handling injury at Magna Park, or a workplace accident at a textile factory in Belgrave or Beaumont Leys. Our trainers know Leicester and the county, delivering recognised, practical courses that keep your organisation HSE-compliant and your people confident to act.
As a principal city of the East Midlands, Leicester has a diverse economy with strengths in engineering, food production, and distribution. With thousands of people employed across these sectors, businesses have a clear obligation under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 to ensure an adequate number of trained first aiders are present.
