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.
✅ You are eligible to take the course if your FAW certificate is still valid or has recently expired (typically within 28 days).
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.

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.
