Refresher Training
We are proud to offer refresher training courses for all businesses and industries across Leicester and the Midlands.
What Is Refresher Training?
Refresher training is essential follow-up training that reinforces existing knowledge and keeps employees up to date with current legislation, best practice, and workplace procedures. While many safety certificates are valid for several years, regular refresher training helps prevent complacency and ensures skills remain sharp.
Refresher courses are particularly important for high-risk activities such as fire safety, first aid, and manual handling training
Why Refresher Training Matters
Benefits of Regular Refresher Training:
- Maintains legal compliance with health and safety legislation
- Reinforces safe working practices and procedures
- Reduces accidents, incidents, and near misses
- Builds staff confidence when responding to emergencies
- Supports a positive safety culture across your organisation
- Helps identify training gaps and emerging risks
Regular refresher training demonstrates your commitment to staff wellbeing and proactive risk management.

Who Is Refresher Training For?
Our refresher training is suitable for businesses of all sizes and across all sectors, including care homes and healthcare providers, manufacturing and food & drink sites, construction and facilities management teams, as well as offices, warehouses, and logistics operations.
We understand that no two workplaces are the same, which is why our refresher training can be optimised to suit your industry, working environment, and specific risks. If your team is feeling less confident in a particular area, or if there have been changes to processes, equipment, or legislation, we can tailor the session to focus on what your staff need most.
Whether you’re planning a routine refresher or responding to an incident or audit, we work closely with you to deliver targeted, relevant training that supports both confidence and compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should Refresher Training be Completed?
The frequency of refresher training depends on your team, industry, and the level of risk involved. High-risk environments like care, manufacturing, construction, or food and drink may need updates every 12–24 months, while lower-risk settings might require them less often.
We tailor refresher training to your business needs, helping your staff stay confident and compliant. To make it easier, we also offer reminder services to ensure your team never misses a renewal or update.
