What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as the FAW Requalification, is a concise 2-day course designed for those whose FAW certification is nearing expiration. By completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Bridgwater, you will extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years, ensuring your skills and knowledge stay current.
Unlike the full three-day programme, this refresher course focuses on reinforcing essential first aid knowledge and skills. It provides you with the chance to practice vital techniques under the supervision of a certified assessor, ensuring you're well-prepared to respond effectively in an emergency. Completing this course also ensures full compliance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Eligibility & When to Book
To join the 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course in Bridgwater, participants must already hold a valid FAW certificate. It’s highly recommended to book your place before your certificate expires, as this will save you from needing to retake the full 3-day course.
A 28-day grace period is allowed after your certification expires. If more than 28 days have passed, you will need to take the complete First Aid at Work course again.
On the first day of training, make sure to bring your current or recently expired FAW certificate to confirm your eligibility for the course.
What Will You Refresh/Practice During the Course?
By enrolling in the FAW Refresher in Bridgwater, you’ll cover the entire First Aid at Work syllabus again. This 2-day course provides a mix of practical skills and theoretical knowledge, ensuring your first aid techniques remain current and your certification stays valid. Under the supervision of a qualified assessor, you’ll practice critical life-saving skills, reinforcing your ability to respond confidently in an emergency.
- Assessing casualties and conducting thorough scene surveys to ensure safety
- Performing adult CPR and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) effectively
- Applying the recovery position and managing seizures safely
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis using auto-injectors

Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher course in Bridgwater is assessed through a combination of practical exercises, instructor observations, and a brief multiple-choice test. This evaluation process ensures that you are equipped with the updated skills needed to handle emergency situations in the workplace confidently.
Once you complete the course successfully, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, which will remain valid for another three years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
It’s important to differentiate between the annual refresher and the FAW Requalification. While the annual refresher is a short course designed to help you practice your skills once a year, it does not renew your qualification.
If your FAW certificate is close to expiring, you’ll need to complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This course is the official way to extend your First Aid at Work certification for another three years and ensures you remain compliant with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
Who Is the Course For?
The 2-day FAW Refresher course in Bridgwater is intended for first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments, such as construction sites, manufacturing plants, warehouses, and large office spaces. This course is ideal for individuals who need to keep their qualifications current and ensure they meet the requirements set by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

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 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.
