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 specifically designed for individuals whose FAW certificate is nearing its expiration. Completing the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Brighton allows you to renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years, keeping you up-to-date with essential first aid practices.
This refresher course is shorter than the full three-day programme, focusing on reviewing critical skills and updating your knowledge. During the course, you’ll have the chance to practise your first aid techniques under the supervision of a qualified assessor. It also ensures your continued compliance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards, meeting the legal requirements for first aid in the workplace.
Eligibility & When to Book
The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is specifically designed for those who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. To avoid having to retake the full 3-day course, it is essential to book your training before your current certificate expires.
You have a 28-day grace period after your certificate expires. If your certificate has lapsed beyond this period, you will be required to start over with the full FAW course.
Remember to bring your current or recently expired FAW certificate on the first day of training to confirm your eligibility for the course.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
During the FAW Refresher in Brighton, you’ll revisit the full First Aid at Work syllabus, reinforcing the key skills and knowledge necessary to handle workplace emergencies confidently. This 2-day course is focused on practical applications and ensures that your first aid abilities are aligned with the most up-to-date health and safety protocols.
- Administering treatments for shock, burns, scalds, and minor injuries
- Applying the recovery position and managing seizures effectively
- Recognising anaphylaxis and administering auto-injector treatments
- Assessing casualties and conducting effective scene surveys
- Performing adult CPR and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
- Managing fractures, head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Providing first aid for choking and severe bleeding incidents
- Responding to heart attacks, strokes, asthma, and diabetes emergencies
- Understanding the key responsibilities of a first aider, including infection control
- Caring for eye injuries and responding to suspected poisoning cases
Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher course in Brighton is assessed through a combination of practical demonstrations, instructor observation, and a brief multiple-choice test. This evaluation method ensures you can confidently apply the first-aid skills refreshed during the course, demonstrating your readiness for real-life emergencies.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. This certificate is valid for another three years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), ensuring you continue to meet UK workplace safety standards.
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
It’s easy to confuse the annual refresher with the FAW Requalification. The annual refresher is a short course aimed at helping you practice and maintain your first aid skills each year, but it does not extend your qualification.
If your certificate is approaching its expiration, you will need to complete the 2-day FAW Refresher course. This is the only course that renews your First Aid at Work certification for another three years, keeping you compliant with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines and workplace regulations.
Who Is the Course For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course in Brighton is designed for appointed first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments such as construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large offices. The course is ideal for individuals who need to update their qualifications and ensure compliance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.

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 have used Hurak Training services to upscale my skills throughout my career and the construction industry and security the team is very supportive under understanding for people from all walks of life they give you personalise advice about the courses and during the courses they will always accommodate for support required throughout your training which is very unique and much appreciated so far I have successfully achieved my level three in first-aid and fire marshals and currently completing a course for CCTV security with this company through their partners the support team are very helpful and supportive and I look forward to completing this course To review this course.

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.
