Qualsafe

Level 3 Award First Aid at Work Annual Refresher

About this course

The Qualsafe Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (Annual Refresher) (RQF) is designed for qualified first aiders to refresh their skills each year until full requalification is required (three years after completing the initial course).

While not mandatory, this refresher is strongly recommended. It reinforces practical skills, updates knowledge, and helps ensure first aiders remain confident and competent in emergencies. Regular refreshers also help prevent skill fade and keep first aiders informed of any changes to best practice or safety guidelines.

I recently completed the Safe Working in Water (SWIW) course with Red One, sponsored by my employer, Lynwood Civil Engineering. As someone who works in environments near or in water as part of civil engineering projects, this training was exactly what I needed to build confidence and ensure compliance with safety standards.
The course was extremely well-structured, with a great balance of theory and hands-on practical sessions. We covered essential topics like personal flotation devices (PFDs), safe working practices in water, self-rescue techniques, and co-worker rescue – all demonstrated clearly and safely.
Instructors Jason and Sam were outstanding. They were knowledgeable, patient, and engaging, making complex concepts easy to understand. They took the time to ensure everyone in the group (including checking kit fit and adjustments) felt comfortable and competent, especially during the practical elements in the outdoor setting. Their real-world experience shone through, and they created a supportive, professional atmosphere that encouraged questions and learning.
The facilities and equipment were top-notch – high-quality NRS and R3 SAR gear, well-maintained and properly fitted. The training felt realistic and thorough without being overly intense, which made it valuable for industrial workers like us.
Thanks to Red One, Lynwood Civil Engineering, and especially Jason and Sam, I now feel much better prepared and safer in water-related work scenarios. I’d highly recommend this course to anyone in construction, civil engineering, or any role requiring work near or in water.
Thank you for a fantastic, professional training experience!

Have done the safe working in water course course and it's been incredible. Our instructors Jason, Paul, and Bex were really fantastic trainers, making us feel safe and confident with each technique and ensuring we completed everything with confidence. The course was enjoyable and a I genuinely feel better going into my role now, knowing what is and isn't in my ability. Definitely recommend the course, and you'll be very lucky if you're trained by Jason Paul and Bex :)

I attended a course at Red One Limited a few months ago and was highly impressed with the structure and delivery of the training. Despite being set by City & Guilds, the course was well-organized, engaging, and thoroughly explained. The instructors, all ex-firefighters with extensive hands-on experience, ensured that no question was too trivial and took the time to support every participant.

The practical training was conducted in a new, well-equipped facility with multiple scenarios for entry, extraction, and event simulations. All equipment was in excellent condition—clean, well-maintained, and properly calibrated.

The site itself is well-kept, with clean and well-maintained facilities. The toilets were spotless, and the cleaning staff were polite and friendly. Parking is easily accessible, with plenty of space available.

Overall, Red One provides an outstanding training environment, balancing theory with practical application. Highly recommended for anyone looking for professional, high-quality training.

I undertook my training and test with Steve yesterday and just wanted to pass on my thanks to him and the team at Red One for an excellent process. Steve was really wonderful. He totally empowered me with his gentle coaching. This made me feel confident in driving the bus again (it's been a few years) but overall he is just a lovely person to spend that time with.

Thank you to the whole team for the afternoon I spent with you

I attended Red One Confined Space Medium Risk Training at West Point, near Exeter on Monday & Tuesday 29th & 30th May 2024. Sam and Nick were exemplary instructors of the course, who gave detailed tuition from a safety and technical perspective. The practical aspect of the course was very realistic and gave me confidence to enter, exit and control confined space space access safely, whilst giving instruction on how to react in an emergency situation, The course provides proficiency in access, egress and escape routines and instruction in the use of breathing apparatus. I would recommend the course to anyone who needs to enter confined spaces.

I booked my taxi practical test with Red One, I ended up stuck on the A38 in a stand still - I rang the reception & they did everything they could to fit me in that same day, I arrived an hour late, and was greeted by Martin, I was straight away put at ease & managed to pass after my hours lesson before - in which I learnt to undo some
Bad habits! I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough, I think the hour lesson before helps settle any nerves and prepares you for the test itself. Thank you Red One,
Special thanks to the lady in reception for rearranging and getting my test done that day and to Martin for putting me at ease & making the whole thing less scary!!
