What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification) in Barnet?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as the FAW Requalification, is a 2-day training course designed for individuals in Barnet whose FAW certificate is nearing expiration. This course provides an opportunity to refresh and update your knowledge, ensuring your FAW qualification remains valid for another three years.
Unlike the full three-day course, the refresher focuses on the most essential areas of first aid, allowing you to revisit key skills and practices under the supervision of experienced trainers. Completing the FAW Refresher course in Barnet ensures that you continue to meet the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards and stay compliant in the workplace.
✅ You can take this course if your FAW certificate is still valid or has recently expired (within the typical 28-day grace period).
Eligibility & When to Book
The First Aid at Work Refresher course in Barnet is available to those who hold a valid FAW certificate or one that has expired within the last 28 days. We recommend booking as early as possible to ensure you renew your qualification before your certificate expires, as doing so will prevent the need to retake the full three-day FAW course.
If your certificate has been expired for more than 28 days, you’ll need to complete the full FAW course again to regain your certification. Don’t wait too long to secure your place!
Remember to bring proof of your current or recently expired FAW certificate with you on the first day of training.

Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification in Barnet
Many learners confuse the annual refresher course with the official 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. While the annual refresher is an excellent way to keep your skills up to date, it does not extend the validity of your FAW certificate. This brief session is great for revisiting key skills, but it’s not enough to renew your certification.
To renew your FAW certification for another three years, you must complete the full 2-day FAW Requalification course. This comprehensive training revisits all core aspects of workplace first aid, ensuring that your skills and knowledge are aligned with the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
Who Should Take This Course?
The 2-day FAW Refresher course in Barnet is specifically for individuals who already hold a valid FAW certificate and need to renew it to maintain compliance with workplace safety regulations. It’s suitable for professionals in a wide range of industries, including construction, manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and education. Supervisors, facilities managers, and office-based first aiders also benefit from refreshing their skills to ensure they remain prepared to handle medical emergencies at work.
