What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher Course?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as the FAW Requalification, is a two-day course for individuals in Barrow-in-Furness whose FAW certificate is approaching expiry. By completing this refresher course, you will renew your Level 3 FAW certification for another three years.
Unlike the full three-day programme, this refresher focuses on the key aspects of workplace first aid, providing an opportunity to practice essential skills under the supervision of a qualified assessor. This ensures you stay compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
Eligibility & When to Book
The two-day First Aid at Work Refresher in Barrow-in-Furness is exclusively for learners who already hold a valid FAW certificate or one that has recently expired. It is recommended that you book early to avoid the need to take the full three-day First Aid at Work course.
If your certificate has recently expired, you can still take the course within a 28-day grace period. However, if your certificate has been expired for longer than this, you will need to complete the full three-day FAW course to regain certification.
On the first day of training, you will need to bring your current or recently expired FAW certificate as proof of eligibility for the refresher course.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
During the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Barrow-in-Furness, you will revisit the complete FAW syllabus to ensure your knowledge is up to date and your qualification remains valid for another three years. This two-day course will cover all essential first aid skills and help reinforce your workplace preparedness.
- Assessing the scene and evaluating the casualty’s condition
- Practising adult CPR and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
- Managing choking situations and severe bleeding
- Understanding first aider roles and ensuring proper infection control
- Responding to medical emergencies like heart attacks, strokes, asthma, epilepsy, and diabetes
- Placing a casualty in the recovery position and managing seizures
- Providing first aid for fractures, spinal, chest, and head injuries
- Treating burns, scalds, shock, and minor workplace injuries
- Recognising eye injuries, suspected poisoning, and treating them
- Managing anaphylaxis and using auto-injectors correctly
Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Barrow-in-Furness is assessed through continuous observation, practical exercises, and a brief multiple-choice exam. This ensures you can confidently apply the refreshed first aid skills in real-world situations.
On successful completion, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for three years and fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
Many people mistakenly believe that the annual refresher is sufficient to maintain their First Aid at Work certification. While the annual refresher is a great way to keep your first aid skills sharp, it does not renew your certificate.
To officially extend your certification for another three years, you need to complete the full 2-day FAW Refresher course. This course revisits the entire syllabus to ensure your skills are up to date, enabling you to maintain compliance with Health and Safety Executive (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
