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 for individuals whose FAW certificate is about to expire. By completing the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Basingstoke, you can renew your Level 3 FAW certification for an additional three years.
This refresher course focuses on revisiting core first aid skills and provides an opportunity to practise under the guidance of an experienced assessor. Unlike the full three-day programme, this course ensures you stay up-to-date with the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements.
Eligibility & When to Book
The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Basingstoke is available only to learners who already hold a valid FAW certificate or one that has expired within the past 28 days. It’s important to book your place before your current qualification expires to avoid the need to retake the full 3-day course.
If your certificate has expired for more than 28 days, you will need to complete the full FAW course again.
On the first day of training, you must bring proof of your current or expired FAW certificate to confirm your eligibility.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
By enrolling in the FAW Requalification in Basingstoke, you will revisit the complete First Aid at Work syllabus to ensure your knowledge remains current and your qualification stays valid. Over the two days, you will practise the essential first aid skills that every workplace first aider must be proficient in.
- Assessing the scene and performing casualty assessments
- Administering adult CPR and using an AED effectively
- Applying the recovery position and managing seizures
- Responding to choking incidents and controlling severe bleeding
- Providing first aid for burns, scalds, and minor injuries
- Treating fractures, head injuries, and spinal injuries
- Recognising and managing shock and poisoning
- Caring for eye injuries and recognising symptoms of anaphylaxis
- Managing medical emergencies such as heart attacks, strokes, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes
Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher course in Basingstoke is assessed through continuous practical demonstrations and brief written assessments. This ensures that you can apply the refreshed skills effectively and confidently in real-life situations.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for three years. This certification is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), ensuring you remain compliant with workplace first-aid regulations.
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
The annual refresher course is often confused with the First Aid at Work Requalification (FAW). While the annual refresher is helpful for practising and refreshing your first aid skills, it does not extend the validity of your FAW certificate.
If your certificate is nearing expiry, the 2-day FAW Requalification course is what you need. This course thoroughly revisits the entire syllabus, renewing your Level 3 FAW certification for another three years, and keeping you fully compliant with HSE regulations.
Who Should Take This Course?
The 2-day FAW Refresher in Basingstoke is designed for individuals who already hold a valid FAW certificate and need to renew it. This course is especially suitable for professionals working in high-risk environments such as construction sites, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and offices. Supervisors, managers, and designated first aiders in any high-risk industry will also benefit from this course.

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.
