Frequently asked questions

Looking for further information on First Aid at Work Refresher/Requalification? We’ve put together the most common questions our first aid training specialists get asked.

What is a First Aid at Work Refresher course?

A First Aid at Work Refresher course, also known as a First Aid at Work Requalification, is a 2-day training course that updates the first aid knowledge and skills of those that need to renew their First Aid at Work certificate in order to obtain another three-year certificate.

It's designed to keep your first aiders up to date with any new legislation, procedures, first aid skills and knowledge, including injuries, CPR, AED and casualties.

How often should you refresh first aid at work training?

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) strongly recommends that you requalify or refresh your first aid at work training within a month of your certificate expiring. This is normally every three years (from when you got your first 3-Day First Aid at Work certificate). Some high hazard environments prefer to renew and refresh their first aid certificate more often than this, but for most of us, three years is sufficient. If the certificate has expired and isn't refreshed, the first aider will no longer be considered to be competent to act as a workplace first aider.

Refreshing your first aid work training will help first-aiders maintain their basic skills, stay up to date with legal changes and retain their confidence to act in an emergency. Our First Aid at Work Refresher training does just that and more, so if this is what you're looking for, please get in touch with one of our friendly training specialists.

Do I need first aid at work refresher or first aid annual refresher training? Whether you need to take First Aid at Work Refresher or First Aid Annual Refresher training depends on whether your first aid certificate is expiring.

If you have an expiring 3-Day First Aid at Work certificate, you will need a First Aid at Work Refresher training course. This will allow you to requalify and gain another three-year certificate.

A First Aid Annual Refresher training course is for those who need or want to refresh their first aid knowledge and skills each year while their first aid certificate is valid. The HSE recommend that all first aiders attend this refresher course once every year.

How can I do this first aid at work refresher course online? You can do this First Aid at Work Refresher course online via blended learning. Blended learning is doing part of the course online via e-learning. This can be completed anytime, anywhere at your own place. The other part is completed face-to-face and covers the practical elements needed to successfully pass the course.

You can't do this course just by e-learning as you need to cover the practical side of the course, but blended learning is an accepted method for delivery of first aid training by the HSE.
