How often do You Need to Redo Your First Aid Training?

It is quite easy to forget what you have learned if you are not called on to use it much or at all and this can and does happen. Not everyone has been affected by accident or injury or been involved in treating it. So taking a refresher course is always a good idea - and especially so for those who have learned CPR. CPR is the single most important thing you can administer to a person who is ill or been hurt. It is the only way to give them a second chance of life; that is why it is considered to be the one thing for which you must take a refresher course.

In fact, to keep your certificate valid you need to do a refresher course in CPR every year. And while you may at first think that it is not really necessary, if you should do a little research you would find out that even the way to administer CPR has changed over the last decade. The medical world is constantly evolving and what was once an acceptable way to do things is frequently superseded by better ways.
