The HSE strongly recommends that all first aiders should receive first aid annual refresher training. Delivered in your workplace anywhere in Liverpool, Manchester or across North Wales.
While it is not a requirement, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) highly recommends that individuals who hold qualifications as First Aiders or Emergency First Aiders participate in an annual refresher course to ensure that their skills are up-to-date and well-practiced. The qualification period for both groups of First Aiders is three years; however, it has been determined that this length of time is too long without any additional training.
Who is the first aid annual refresher training course suitable for:
This half-day attendance course is available to any first-aider who are still within the three-year certification period. This course ensures that you are up to date on the key techniques in order to administer simple but sometimes life-saving techniques.
