What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also referred to as FAW Requalification, is a 2-day training programme designed for individuals whose FAW certification is nearing its expiration. By completing the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Boston, you can renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years.
Unlike the full three-day course, the refresher focuses on revisiting key knowledge and provides hands-on practice of essential first aid skills under the supervision of a certified assessor. It also ensures you stay compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines and maintain your legal requirements as an employer or employee.
Eligibility & When to Book
This 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is designed for individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. To avoid the need to retake the full 3-day course, it’s important to book your spot before your existing qualification expires.
After your certificate expires, you have a 28-day grace period in which you can still attend the refresher course. If this period has passed, you will need to re-enrol for the full First Aid at Work course.
When attending the course, please bring proof of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate with you on the first day of training.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
Upon enrolling in the FAW Refresher Course in Boston, you will revisit the comprehensive First Aid at Work syllabus. This 2-day programme ensures your knowledge stays current, and it provides practical opportunities to sharpen essential first aid skills under the guidance of an experienced assessor.
- Administering Adult CPR and using AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators)
- Managing fractures and treating injuries to the head, spinal cord, and chest
- Recognising signs of anaphylaxis and administering treatment using auto-injectors
- Handling choking situations and providing first aid for severe bleeding emergencies
- Conducting thorough casualty assessments and scene surveys

Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher course in Boston is assessed through practical demonstrations, instructor-led observations, and a brief multiple-choice quiz. This approach ensures you can effectively apply the refreshed skills in real-life scenarios.
Upon successfully completing the course, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. This certification will remain valid for another three years and is fully accredited by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
The annual refresher and the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course are often confused. The annual refresher is a brief course designed to help you maintain your first aid skills on a yearly basis. While beneficial, it does not extend or renew your certificate.
To ensure that your certification remains valid, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher course. This is the official programme that renews your First Aid at Work qualification for an additional three years.
Who Is the Course For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is designed for first aiders who are appointed in medium- to high-risk environments, including construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large office spaces. It is specifically tailored for individuals who need to keep their certification current and remain compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.

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.
