Do you have a Basic First aid course certificate? Then you must complete a mandatory, annual refresher training course. You must also be able to present a certificate to prove this.
In any case, it is important for First Aid responders to keep their knowledge updated and to stay abreast of the latest methods, techniques, and legislation. Refreshing training on the most important treatments is also crucial.
Mensura has been accredited by the FPS Employment, Labour and Social Dialogue to organise this refresher training. After the training, you will receive a refresher training certificate.

What do you learn?
There will be some theory but the focus will be on practice. We also learn from each other by exchanging practical experiences. Therefore, there is a maximum of 15 participants.
We will refresh both your knowledge and skills. New techniques will also be covered. You will also learn how to apply bandages, resuscitation with mannequins, how to transport victims, how to treat common wounds, choking, and so on.
An annual refresher course, delivered in an engaging way, motivates you to make time for it even when you’re busy at work.

Result?
In this refresher training course, you can update your knowledge and skills and expand your expertise. New techniques and methods are also covered. This training is mainly practical. Upon completion, you will receive a refresher training certificate.
Basic first aid training must be refreshed annually with further training. Each year, one specific module from the basic training course is revisited, in a fixed order. After a cycle of 5 years, the entire basic training course has been completely revised.
We provide continuous evaluation during the training course. After the training course, you will receive the official First Aid refresher training certificate, recognised by the Federal Public Service Employment, Labour and Social Dialogue (FPS WASO). Your First Aid certificate remains valid thanks to this refresher training course.
Annual refresher training is mandatory.
For whom?
This refresher course is for certified First Aid responders who wish to extend their official certificates and those who wish to update their basic knowledge and skills in First Aid at work.
Assistance for designated persons
Certain companies must have 'designated persons'. An emergency services licence is not required, but it is necessary to have mastered the basics of first aid/support. Have a look at our 'Emergency response (first aid) for designated persons' training.
"Additional background information was given, easier to understand the reasons why, making it easier to remember the guidelines."

What does the law say?
Would you like to retain your First Aid certificate? Then you are legally obliged to attend a refresher course every year.
The Federal Public Service on Employment, Labour and Social Dialogue (FPS WASO) lists Mensura as a training institution that can provide this refresher training. Upon completion of the training course, you will therefore receive a recognised refresher training certificate and retain your First Aid certificate.
There are exceptions to the refresher training, based on a risk analysis and the advice from the occupational physician and the Committee. In some cases, refresher training is only required every two years.

Can I register for the refresher course if I have already completed basic first aid training?
Various organisations offer basic first aid training courses. However, these do not always prepare you to work as an emergency response officer in a professional context. You can therefore only start the refresher course if the training you have completed meets the following conditions:
The training focused on first aid in a professional context.
You attended at least two days of training.
You obtained a “first-aid certificate”.
Does the training you completed not meet the conditions? Then you can register for our “Emergency response officer (first aid) – basic level” training.
Can I follow refresher courses at Mensura with a certificate I obtained elsewhere?
Our refresher training first aid can be followed if you have a certificate of at least 15 hours as an emergency worker, in accordance with the conditions of the Codex on Welfare at Work, book I, title 5.
The Red Cross BEPS certificate does not belong to this category.
What is the difference between an initiation, a refresher course, and a basic course?
An initiation is an awareness training for all staff in your company. This ensures everyone reacts appropriately in the event of an accident. You do not receive an official certificate.
After a basic course, you receive a certificate and are then a first aider in your company. You retain that certificate on completion of the mandatory annual refresher course.
How many first aiders are needed in my organisation?
This is determined by the risk analysis.
