First Aid at Work Refresher Course

St John Ambulance Cymru is a trusted and leading training provider in Wales. In the UK, St John Ambulance is one of the voluntary aid societies (VAS) recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) as standard setters for first aid training, in accordance with the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981. We do not require external accreditation through an awarding organisation.

Research shows that first aid skills can fade over time without regular practice. An annual refresher course helps qualified first aiders maintain confidence and stay prepared to respond to emergencies in the workplace. It is the ideal way to revisit key first aid skills during your three-year First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work qualification period.

A First Aid at Work Refresher Course will give you the confidence to perform lifesaving skills in an emergency, but it will not extend the validity period of your current qualification. If your 3 year certificate is about to expire in the coming months, then you should instead book a place on our First Aid at Work Requalification course (also offered as a blended option). By taking First Aid at Work Requalification training, you can extend the validity of your certificate by a further three years.

We regularly hold the First Aid at Work Update course at our training centres across Wales. You can search for courses below, or send an enquiry via email or phone at the top of the page. We can also deliver the training course at your premises if six or more of your employees require training.
