HSE Guidelines

Did you know that the HSE guidelines state that employers should ensure their first aiders remain competent to perform their role? 

As such, it is strongly recommended that first aiders undertake annual refresher training to practise their skills and update their knowledge on the latest first aid procedures. 

The QA Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (Annual Refresher) (RQF) qualification is specifically designed to allow qualified first aiders to update their first aid skills yearly, until requalification training is required. 

Successful candidates will leave with a renewed confidence, having had the opportunity to practise essential first aid procedures, as well as learn the latest techniques needed to deal with an emergency situation. 

With all subjects covered in just 3 hours, this course is an ideal way to satisfy HSE requirements whilst minimising disruption to your organisation’s day-to-day activities!

The expiry date for this certificate is typically 3 years after successful completion of the course.

They enjoyed the course and said they had learnt a lot of information which they would find useful in the future. So well done Barry and Hannah

Would definitely recommend…
I completed the blended first aid at work course. There was a lot to learn in a short space of time, but Barry was great! We could have a laugh with him which made us feel more relaxed. I am now confident and have the knowledge to put into practice when needed.

Great FAW course!
I thoroughly enjoyed this 3 day course from start to finish. Barry is an incredibly good teacher and made the course engaging and fun.
I’ve learnt a lot and feel much more confident that I could be of help in many different emergency scenarios.

Engaging, effective, and important
As always Barry made the practical learning fun and interactive so that the information is easy to remember. The blended form of training was much easier to fit into busy working lives and the interactive online training meant you could go back to sections if needed.
