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 training course designed for those whose FAW certificate is approaching its expiration date. Completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Blackpool allows you to extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years.
Unlike the full three-day course, this refresher programme is aimed at updating your knowledge and offering practical opportunities to refine your skills under the guidance of an assessor. It ensures continued compliance with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Eligibility & When to Book
This 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is available exclusively to individuals who already hold a valid FAW certificate. To avoid the need to retake the full 3-day First Aid at Work course, it is advisable to book your place before your current certification expires.
If your certificate has expired, you can still attend the course within a 28-day grace period. However, if the expiry period exceeds 28 days, you’ll be required to complete the full FAW course once again.
On the first day of training, make sure to bring proof of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate to verify your eligibility.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
When you enrol in the FAW Refresher Course in Blackpool, you'll revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your knowledge is up to date and your qualification remains valid. Over the course of two days, you’ll hone the essential skills needed by every workplace first aider.
- Managing fractures, as well as head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Providing first aid for choking and severe bleeding emergencies
- Correct techniques for the recovery position and managing seizures
- Recognising and administering treatment for anaphylaxis using auto-injectors
- Understanding the key responsibilities of a first aider and infection control
- Practising Adult CPR and AED (Automated External Defibrillator)
- Casualty assessment and performing scene surveys
- Responding to health emergencies, including heart attacks, strokes, asthma, diabetes, and epilepsy
- How to manage shock, burns, scalds, and treat minor injuries
- First aid for eye injuries and suspected poisoning incidents
Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher course in Blackpool includes a combination of practical demonstrations, trainer observation, and a brief multiple-choice test. This assessment ensures that you are fully capable of applying the skills you’ve practised during the course in real-life situations.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, which will be valid for another three years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
Many people confuse the annual refresher course with the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a brief session designed to help you maintain your skills over the course of the year, but it does not renew your certification.
To officially renew your First Aid at Work certification, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This course is the only way to extend your qualification for another three years.
Who Is the Course For?
The 2-day FAW Refresher course is ideal for designated first aiders working in medium to high-risk environments such as construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large office spaces. This course is tailored for those who need to keep their qualification current and ensure compliance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Blackpool
If you have multiple employees who need to renew their FAW qualifications, organising on-site training at your workplace could be a more convenient option. An accredited instructor can deliver the full 2-day requalification course directly at your premises, enabling your team to refresh their skills together in a familiar environment.
On-site training provides numerous advantages:
- ✓ Minimises travel time and time away from the workplace
- ✓ Convenient scheduling with flexible dates and times
- ✓ Tailored to the specific risks of your workplace
- ✓ Cost-effective option for larger teams
- ✓ Group training in one convenient session

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.
