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 for individuals whose FAW certification is nearing its expiration. By completing the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Broadstairs, you can renew your Level 3 FAW certification for an additional three years, ensuring you are fully prepared for any workplace emergency.
Unlike the comprehensive three-day First Aid at Work course, this refresher is designed to update your knowledge and provide valuable hands-on practice of essential first aid skills under the supervision of a qualified assessor. The course is also tailored to ensure that you continue to meet the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations and remain legally compliant.
Eligibility & When to Book
The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course in Broadstairs is specifically for individuals who hold a valid FAW certificate. It’s recommended to book your spot before your certification expires to prevent having to re-enrol in the full 3-day course.
If your FAW certificate has already expired, you can still take the refresher course within a 28-day grace period. Beyond this, you'll need to take the full First Aid at Work course to renew your qualification.
Ensure you bring a copy of your current or expired FAW certificate on the first day of the course to confirm your eligibility for the refresher training.
What Will You Refresh/Practice During the Course?
The FAW Refresher in Broadstairs covers the full First Aid at Work syllabus. This 2-day course allows you to practise vital skills and refresh your knowledge, ensuring you’re prepared to handle any workplace emergency. Under the guidance of a qualified assessor, you'll build confidence and update your first aid techniques, in line with the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines.
- Placing casualties in the recovery position and managing seizures effectively
- Recognising the signs of anaphylaxis and using auto-injectors to administer treatment
- Performing adult CPR and using the Automated External Defibrillator (AED) for emergency situations
- Assessing casualties efficiently and conducting scene surveys
- Administering treatment for choking incidents and controlling severe bleeding
- Providing care for fractures, head injuries, chest trauma, and spinal injuries
- Treating shock, burns, scalds, and other minor injuries in the workplace
- Recognising and responding to medical emergencies such as heart attacks, strokes, and asthma attacks
- Dealing with eye injuries and suspected poisoning cases with the appropriate first aid measures
- Understanding the roles and responsibilities of a first aider, with a focus on infection control and hygiene
Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher course in Broadstairs is assessed through practical demonstrations, trainer observations, and a brief multiple-choice test. This evaluation method allows you to showcase the updated skills and knowledge you've gained, ensuring you're confident and capable of handling workplace emergencies.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, which remains valid for an additional three years. This certification is recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and ensures compliance with UK workplace health and safety regulations.
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
It is important to differentiate between the annual refresher course and the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. The annual refresher is a short session designed to help you maintain your first aid skills each year, but it does not renew your qualification.
If your FAW certificate is close to expiring, you must take the 2-day FAW Refresher course. This is the official requalification programme that renews your First Aid at Work certification for another three years, ensuring you remain fully compliant with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines.
Who Is the Course For?
The 2-day FAW Refresher course in Broadstairs is tailored for designated first aiders in medium- to high-risk workplaces, such as construction sites, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and larger office spaces. It is perfect for individuals who need to refresh their qualifications and remain compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations, ensuring workplace safety is maintained at all times.

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.
