What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?

The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as FAW Requalification, is a 2-day training course aimed at individuals whose FAW certification is nearing its expiration. By attending this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Bolton, you can renew your Level 3 FAW qualification, extending its validity for another three years.

Unlike the comprehensive three-day FAW course, the refresher focuses on revisiting key knowledge and provides the chance to hone essential skills under the supervision of an experienced assessor. Completing the course ensures continued compliance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines.

✅ This course is available to those holding a valid FAW certificate or within the 28-day grace period following expiration.

Eligibility & When to Book

The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is exclusively available to individuals who already possess a valid FAW certificate. To ensure you don’t need to take the full 3-day course again, it’s best to book your spot before your current qualification expires.

If your certificate has expired, you have a 28-day grace period to still take the refresher. Should the certificate lapse for more than 28 days, you’ll need to enrol in the full FAW course to regain your certification.

On the first day of your training, please bring proof of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate to ensure your eligibility to attend the course.

What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?

When you join the FAW Refresher Course in Bolton, you’ll review the full First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring that your skills are up to date and your certification remains valid. Over two days, you will practise crucial first aid techniques that every workplace first aider should be proficient in.

  • Administering first aid for choking incidents and severe bleeding emergencies
  • Providing treatment for shock, burns, scalds, and minor injuries
  • Understanding the responsibilities of a first aider and infection control measures
  • Recognising and responding to health emergencies, such as heart attacks, strokes, asthma, diabetes, and epilepsy
  • Performing casualty assessments and conducting scene surveys
  • Practising Adult CPR and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
  • Managing fractures, as well as head, spinal, and chest injuries
  • Utilising the correct techniques for the recovery position and seizure management
  • Providing first aid for eye injuries and handling suspected poisoning
  • Recognising anaphylaxis and administering epinephrine with auto-injectors

Assessment & Certification

The First Aid at Work Refresher course in Bolton includes a combination of practical assessments, direct trainer observation, and a brief multiple-choice exam. These components ensure that you can demonstrate the refreshed skills confidently in real-world situations.

Upon successfully completing the course, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. This certification will remain valid for three more years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), meeting all required standards.

Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification

The annual refresher course is often confused with the First Aid at Work Requalification. It is a shorter course aimed at helping you practise your first aid skills annually. While beneficial for maintaining competence, it does not renew your FAW certification.

To renew your qualification and extend it for another three years, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only course that officially revalidates your First Aid at Work certification, ensuring continued compliance with HSE regulations.

Who Is the Course For?

This 2-day FAW Refresher course is specifically designed for individuals who are currently appointed as first aiders in medium to high-risk workplaces, such as construction sites, warehouses, manufacturing plants, and large office environments. The course is ideal for those who need to update their qualification and stay in line with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements.

On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Bolton

If your team needs to renew their FAW qualifications, you can arrange on-site training at your workplace for added convenience. An accredited trainer will come to your premises to deliver the full 2-day requalification course, so your staff can update their skills together in a familiar setting.

On-site training offers numerous advantages for your business:

  • Reduced time away from work and less travel
  • Tailored to the specific risks of your workplace
  • Flexible scheduling to suit your business needs
  • Efficient group training in a single session
  • Cost-effective for large teams and organisations

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 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.
