What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Barry?
The First Aid at Work Refresher (FAW Requalification) is a 2-day course designed for individuals in Barry whose FAW certification is nearing expiration. By attending this course, you can renew your Level 3 FAW certification for another three years, ensuring your knowledge and skills remain up to date.
Unlike the full three-day First Aid at Work course, the refresher course focuses on revisiting the most vital skills needed in workplace first aid. It provides learners with a chance to refine their first aid abilities under expert supervision, ensuring continued compliance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
Eligibility & When to Book
This 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course in Barry is open to individuals who already hold a valid or recently expired FAW certificate. To secure your place, it is advisable to book your course before your existing certificate expires, thereby avoiding the need to retake the full 3-day course.
If your certificate has expired for longer than 28 days, you will need to enrol in the complete FAW programme to regain your qualification.
Please bring proof of your current or recently expired FAW certificate with you on the first day of training.
What Will You Refresh and Practise During the Course in Barry?
In the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Barry, you’ll revisit the full First Aid at Work syllabus to ensure your skills are up to date and your qualification remains valid for three more years. Over two days, you'll refine your first aid skills and learn key procedures vital for the workplace, all under expert supervision.
- Practising adult CPR and confidently using an AED
- Managing severe bleeding and responding to choking incidents
- Applying the recovery position and assisting with seizure management

Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Barry will be assessed through practical demonstrations, continuous trainer observation, and a short multiple-choice quiz. This assessment approach ensures you can apply the refreshed skills with confidence in the workplace.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for three years, fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
Many people confuse the brief annual refresher with the full First Aid at Work Requalification course. While the annual refresher helps you keep your skills up-to-date, it does not extend the validity of your certificate.
To renew your First Aid at Work certification for another three years, you must complete the 2-day FAW Requalification course. This course will refresh all the essential skills and ensure your certification complies with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines.
Who Is the Course For?
The 2-day FAW Requalification course in Barry is intended for those who already hold a valid FAW certificate and need to renew it. It’s ideal for employees in medium to high-risk workplaces such as construction sites, large warehouses, factories, and corporate offices. This course ensures you continue to meet HSE standards and remain prepared to handle workplace emergencies effectively.

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
