What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as the FAW Requalification, is a 2-day course designed for individuals whose FAW certification is nearing expiry. By completing this First Aid at Work Refresher course in Aylesbury, you can extend your Level 3 FAW certification for an additional three years.
Unlike the full 3-day FAW programme, this refresher course is focused on revisiting key concepts and providing hands-on practice of essential first aid skills, all under the guidance of a qualified assessor. It ensures that you remain fully compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
Eligibility & When to Book
The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is available only to those who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. To ensure you stay certified, it's recommended to book your place before your existing qualification expires, as this will prevent the need to retake the full 3-day FAW course.
A 28-day grace period is provided after your certificate expires. If your certificate has expired beyond this period, you will be required to complete the full FAW course again.
On the first day of training, please bring your valid or recently expired FAW certificate as proof of eligibility to attend the course.
What Will You Refresh/Practice During the Course?
By enrolling in the FAW Requalification course in Aylesbury, you’ll revisit the complete First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your knowledge is up-to-date and your certification stays valid. Over two days, you'll focus on practising essential first aid skills that are vital for all workplace first aiders.
- Managing fractures, head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Adult CPR and AED usage
- Responding to heart attacks, strokes, asthma, diabetes, and epilepsy
- Treating shock, burns, scalds, and minor injuries

Assessment & Certification
The FAW Refresher course in Aylesbury is assessed through a combination of practical demonstrations, observation by the trainer, and a brief multiple-choice exam. This approach ensures that you can confidently apply the refreshed skills in real-life workplace scenarios.
Upon completing the course, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, which remains valid for another three years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs the 2-Day FAW Requalification
Many people confuse the annual refresher with the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a brief course designed to help you maintain your skills and stay sharp, but it does not extend your certification.
If your FAW certificate is approaching its expiry date, you’ll need to complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the official course that renews your First Aid at Work qualification for another three years.
Who Is the Course For?
The 2-day FAW Refresher course is ideal for designated first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments, including warehouses, large office buildings, construction sites, and factories. This course is designed for individuals who need to renew their certification and ensure ongoing compliance with HSE standards.

What Our Students Say?
My experience at Ayotte Recruitment and Training Academy was first class. 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. Peter and his staff provided the group with some valuable insight into the security industry.
I just completed the First Aid at Work refresher course and I'm glad it went efficiently and in a friendly way. Thanks

I needed to renew my security guard licence and do my top up with first aid training and Hurak were very helpful with getting it sorted ASAP. Good customer service and making sure everything went smoothly as possible.
I found Hurak as a very well organised organisation. It has been so simple and a straight forward process during course top-up for the renewal of my first aid and my SIA licence. I'll recommend this organisation to anyone who volunteer for the training.
