In line with the revised First Aid Guidance issued on 1st October 2009* we are able to offer a half-day annual first aid at work refresher course that is suitable for those staff who have completed either the three-day First Aid at Work or the one-day Emergency First Aid at Work refresher courses.
This is an ideal course to help keep your first aiders updated it also provides an opportunity for them to ask questions to their instructor and peers.
This course can be adapted to suit a particular audience i.e. clerical or engineering staff. The first aid at work course refresher is run over three days and includes both theory and practical sessions.
Content of Annual First Aid at Work Refresher Course:
On completion of emergency first at work refresher training, successful candidates should be able to:
