What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as the FAW Requalification, is a two-day course designed for those whose current FAW certificate is close to expiry. By completing the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Aberystwyth, you can renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for another three years.
Unlike the original three-day FAW course, the refresher is focused on strengthening essential knowledge and giving participants time to revisit practical skills under the guidance of an experienced trainer. Taking this course also ensures that you remain compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements.
Eligibility and Booking Information
The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is available to those who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. To avoid having to complete the full 3-day FAW course, it’s best to book your place before your existing qualification expires.
A grace period of 28 days is offered after the certificate expires. If your certification has lapsed beyond this period, you will need to enrol in the full FAW course again.
On the first day of training, you must bring a copy of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate for verification.
What Will You Refresh and Practise During the Course?
During the FAW Requalification course in Aberystwyth, you’ll revisit the full First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your knowledge is current and your certification remains valid. Over the two days, you’ll have the chance to refresh and practise vital first aid skills that are essential in any workplace setting.
- Understanding the responsibilities of a first aider and infection control protocols
- Scene surveys and conducting casualty assessments
- Administering adult CPR and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
- Managing fractures, head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Recovery position techniques and seizure management
- Responding to heart attacks, strokes, asthma attacks, diabetes emergencies, and seizures
- First aid for choking and controlling severe bleeding
- Treating burns, scalds, shock, and minor injuries
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis with auto-injectors
- Caring for eye injuries and suspected poisoning
Assessment and Certification
During the First Aid at Work Refresher course in Aberystwyth, your assessment will involve a combination of practical exercises, observation by the trainer, and a brief multiple-choice exam. This ensures you are fully capable of applying the refreshed skills in real-life situations.
Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. This certification is valid for three years and is recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
The annual refresher course is often confused with the FAW Requalification. The annual refresher is a shorter session designed to help you practice and maintain your skills each year. While it's beneficial, it does not extend the validity of your certificate.
If your FAW certificate is nearing expiration, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only programme that officially renews your First Aid at Work certification for another three years.
Who Should Take This Course?
The 2-day FAW Refresher is ideal for individuals working in medium to high-risk environments who need to renew their First Aid at Work certification. This includes professionals in industries such as construction, warehousing, factories, and large office settings. The course is specifically aimed at first aiders who are responsible for ensuring workplace safety and staying compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines.

Three weeks ago, I attended the First Aid and Level 2 Door Supervisor SIA course, and my instructor Peter was very knowledgeable and thorough with his teaching. I learn a lot from him and his staff.
