First Aid at Work Requalification course content
The content covered in the 2-day First Aid Refresher course is a summary of the longer and more in-depth ‘First Aid at Work’ course. The tutor delivers the course through a variety of case studies and group discussions. You will also take part in practical exercises after tutorials from the tutor.
The tutor will cover the following subjects on the course:
Unit 1
The day-to-day role of a first-aider; decreasing infection risk, the roles and responsibilities, and the need for consent.
Assessing an incident; carrying out the primary survey and a scene survey.
Applying first aid to an unresponsive casualty; administering first aid to a casualty who is having a seizure, giving and demonstrating CPR, what is the recovery position and demonstrating it.
Chocking first aid; a demonstration of applying first aid to a choking casualty and how to recognise the severity of choking.
External bleeding first aid; demonstrating how to control bleeding and identifying the severity of the bleeding.
Dealing with a casualty who is in shock; recognising the signs of shock; and administering first aid to a casualty in shock.
First aid to minor injuries, including burns, minor cuts, grazes, scalds etc.
Unit 2
The secondary survey; demonstrating a head to toe survey and gathering the history of a casualty.
Administering first aid to a suspected bone, muscle and joint injury; identifying injuries and a demonstration of applying various types of sling.
Chest and spinal injuries; identifying/demonstrating first aid on a chest/spine/head injury and recognising head/spinal/chest injuries.

Assessment
This qualification is assessed through practical demonstration and a multiple-choice theory test. The tutor will also continually evaluate your understanding over the two days of the course.
How long is the First Aid Requalification course?
The First Aid Refresher course is two days long; this equates to around 14-hours of learning.
The course is delivered over two days rather than the full three days; this is because it is designed to refresh your knowledge rather than cover all of the content again.
The requalification course also allows you to spend one less day away from work than the full First Aid at Work.
Why should I take this course?
Delegates who need to renew their First Aid at Work qualification should attend this course. Without an in-date first aid qualification, you are no longer contributing to your organisations first aid requirements.
Rather than letting your qualification expire and attending the three-day course, it’s much more beneficial to attend the refresher. The course is cheaper than the three-day course, and you will also spend less time away from work.
You shouldn’t be administering first aid without proper training; especially in the workplace, you could put the casualty in further harm. The course will help ensure that you are applying all first aid properly to attend to casualties in the future.
