About this course

Keep skills up to date, and knowledge current, with this 1 day classroom annual refresher. This course meets new UK and European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2025 and the HSE latest requirements.  

First aid annual refresher training ensures that you comply with the HSE recommendations, your own responsibility, and your employers duty of care to keep skills current.

This course is ideal for those who have completed one of our classroom practical 6 hour EFAW courses, or a 3 day FAW, where the certificate is still in date.

If you also work with children or in the Education sector we recommend that you complete the Paediatric Annual Refresher.

“Employers are legally required; HSE (first aid regulations 1981), to ensure their first aiders are competent and maintain their skills throughout the three years in which their certificates are valid.”

Please see “course topics above” for the core annual refresher training syllabus.

If you hold a current Level 3 FAW (First Aid at Work), EFAW (Emergency First Aid at Work), or PFA (Paediatric First Aid) award, you must renew your certificate every 3 years.
