Annual Basic Skills Refresh Course is an annual 3 hour essential life saving skills refresher that is recommended for those who have completed an Emergency First Aid at Work Course or a First Aid at Work Course. It could also be used for those with no previous first aid experience as a basic course to gain some skills to deal with life threatening situations.

Everyone forgets things over a period of time. As your first aid certificate is valid for 3 years, you may loose confidence or forget the skills to be able to deal with certain situations in that time. This annual basic skills refresh course is aimed to re-learn and refresh those life saving skills. Helping you become confident again to deal with those emergency life saving situations if they should happen.

The Health and Safety Executive recommend people attend these annual refreshers during the 3 years in-between gaining your certificate and it expiring so that your first aid skills remain current and you maintain confidence in your ability to deal with these life threatening situations.

Our courses are fun and interactive and give you lots of practising of the skills you have learned to increase your confidence. This course has no written assessments to complete and it is all done by trainer observation. You will receive a certificate of attendance for this course.
