Refresher Course (2 Days)
For anyone whose certificate is approaching expiry — or whose skills just need sharpening before it does — the Refresher Course renews the information of what you already hold without repeating the full original courses.
Latest Guidelines on CPR and First Aid Administration
Resuscitation guidelines aren’t fixed — bodies like the American Heart Association review the science on a regular cycle and update their recommendations accordingly. The clearest example: in 2010, the long-standing “ABC” sequence (Airway, Breathing, Compressions) was reordered to “CAB” (Compressions first), after research showed that time spent opening the airway and giving breaths before starting compressions was costing lives during the most critical window of cardiac arrest. That change has been reaffirmed in every major guideline update since. A certificate holder who trained years ago and never refreshed may still be practising a sequence that’s since been revised — this course exists to close that gap.
Quick Recap & Practice
This isn’t the original course run again from the start — it’s a condensed format (matching the Course Catalogue: 1 day for an SFAC-style refresher, 2 days for OFAC) that moves quickly through what’s changed, then goes straight into hands-on practice and a skills check. That practice-heavy format exists for a real reason: research from the American Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council shows CPR skills begin to decay within about two weeks of initial training, and fewer than half of learners can still pass a skills test a year later. A refresher isn’t a formality — it’s addressing a measured, predictable drop-off in ability.
New Certificate Issued Upon Completion
Completing the refresher issues a new certificate with a fresh validity period, keeping certification continuous rather than lapsed. This matters beyond convenience: many accreditation pathways require the full original course to be retaken once a certificate has already expired, rather than a shorter refresher — renewing before expiry is the easier route, and the one this course is built around.
Popular With Professionals
This is consistently one of the most-booked courses among working professionals — designated workplace first-aiders, childcare and preschool staff, security personnel, educators, and healthcare-adjacent roles — for a simple reason: for them, a lapsed certificate isn’t just a personal gap, it’s a compliance or employment requirement left unmet.
A one or two-day refresher that fits around a work schedule, instead of a multi-day course repeated from scratch, is exactly what keeps professionals current without pulling them out of their jobs for long.In a workplace, the person best placed to help in the first few minutes of an emergency usually isn’t a paramedic — it’s a colleague.
Corporate First Aid, CPR and AED training is built for that reality: adults who are often the ones others are depending on, whether that’s a manager on the factory floor, a cabin crew member mid-flight, or a colleague on a tennis court.
