The First Aid Annual Refresher is delivered by St John Ambulance’s experienced trainers, combining real-world insight with hands-on learning.
St John Ambulance is a leading UK charity with over 140 years of experience in first aid education, trusted by thousands of organisations nationwide.
We won't just tell you about first aid. We'll give you the confidence to deliver first aid when and where its needed.

This half-day course helps qualified first aiders maintain their essential life-saving skills and confidence between requalification courses. It is designed to keep knowledge fresh and ensure readiness to respond in an emergency.

Our Annual Refresher Training course provides practical, hands-on revision of key first aid techniques, including CPR, use of an AED, and treatment for choking and bleeding. This training supports compliance with HSE recommendations for annual first aid refreshers.

This course is ideal for anyone holding a current First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work certificate who wants to stay prepared and competent. Upon completion, delegates receive a St John Ambulance certificate of attendance.

From May 2026, we're training first aiders to control life-threatening bleeding using nationally agreed best practice.
