Due to First Aid knowledge and skill fade the HSE strongly recommends that all First Aiders attend annual refresher training. Remember that in addition to courses running on the dates shown below we can also come and train at your premises at any time that suits you.
First aid skills are extremely valuable, but like any practical skill, confidence can reduce when those skills are not used regularly.
The First Aid at Work Refresher course from SM Safety Training & Consultancy Ltd is designed to help existing workplace first aiders revisit the essential skills they may need to use during an emergency and maintain confidence in their ability to respond.
This practical refresher training provides an opportunity to revisit key techniques in a relaxed and supportive learning environment. Rather than simply going over theory, the focus is on getting learners involved, practising their skills and thinking about how they would respond to realistic situations in their own workplace.
Most workplace first aiders will hopefully never need to respond to a serious emergency. However, this can also mean months may pass without having the opportunity to use the skills gained during their original training.
Regular refresher training helps keep those skills fresh and gives first aiders the opportunity to practise in a safe environment before they are ever required to use them for real.
The course is particularly useful for organisations that want their first aiders to remain confident, competent and prepared throughout the period of their existing qualification.
At SM Safety Training, we believe first aid training should be practical.
Our refresher sessions are designed to encourage participation and give learners plenty of opportunity to practise important first aid techniques under the guidance of an experienced instructor.
The aim is to help learners move beyond simply remembering what they were taught and instead feel confident about stepping forward, assessing a situation and taking appropriate action.
We use realistic workplace examples wherever possible so learners can relate the training to situations they may genuinely face at work.
The First Aid at Work Refresher course is suitable for existing workplace first aiders who want to maintain their knowledge and practical ability between formal qualifications.
Training can be arranged for individuals or groups, and in-house refresher training is available for organisations across the UK.
For businesses with several trained first aiders, bringing the training directly to your workplace can be an effective way of refreshing the whole team at the same time while reducing employee travel and disruption.
At SM Safety Training & Consultancy Ltd, our focus is not simply on delivering a course and issuing paperwork. We want learners to leave feeling more confident than when they arrived.
Our experienced instructors provide friendly, practical and engaging training that focuses on skills that can genuinely make a difference during a workplace emergency.
Whether you are an individual first aider looking to refresh your skills or an organisation wanting to keep your first aid team prepared, we can help.
Refresh your skills. Rebuild your confidence. Be ready when it matters.

The First Aid at Work Refresher course is designed for existing first aiders who want to refresh their knowledge, practise essential first aid skills and maintain confidence between formal qualifications.
Regular refresher training helps ensure that important skills are not forgotten, particularly if you do not regularly deal with first aid situations in the workplace.
The course is suitable for anyone who already holds a First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work qualification and wants to keep their knowledge and practical skills up to date.
It is particularly useful for designated workplace first aiders who may go long periods without needing to use their first aid skills.
Annual refresher training is not a mandatory legal requirement. However, the Health and Safety Executive strongly recommends that first aiders undertake annual refresher training to help maintain their basic skills and keep their knowledge up to date.
First aid skills can fade when they are not regularly used. Refresher training gives first aiders an opportunity to practise essential techniques again and rebuild confidence.
In an emergency, being able to remember what to do and act quickly can make a significant difference.
The course revisits important first aid knowledge and practical skills, which may include:
The training focuses heavily on refreshing practical skills and confidence.
No. Annual refresher training is designed to help maintain your skills between formal qualifications; it does not replace the appropriate requalification training required when your First Aid at Work certificate is due to expire.
First aiders should ensure that they continue to hold a valid certificate appropriate to their role. HSE advises employers to keep first aid training up to date through appropriate refresher training.
HSE strongly recommends that qualified first aiders undertake refresher training every year to help maintain their basic skills and keep up to date with changes in first aid procedures.
Refresher training is designed to maintain your knowledge and practical skills while your existing qualification remains valid.
Requalification training is completed when your First Aid at Work qualification is approaching expiry and is used to renew your formal qualification.
The two should not be confused, as completing annual refresher training does not extend the expiry date of your existing First Aid at Work certificate.
Yes. First aid is a practical skill, so refresher training gives learners an opportunity to practise important techniques rather than simply reviewing information.
This helps first aiders maintain both their competence and their confidence to respond when an emergency occurs.
A workplace first aider may receive their qualification and then fortunately not have to deal with a serious incident for many months or even years.
Refresher training helps prevent skills from becoming rusty and gives first aiders an opportunity to practise emergency procedures in a controlled and supportive environment.
