What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, often referred to as FAW Requalification, is a focused 2-day course aimed at individuals whose FAW certification is about to expire. By attending the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Caerphilly, you can extend your Level 3 FAW certification for an additional three years, ensuring you stay prepared to handle workplace emergencies effectively.
In contrast to the full three-day First Aid at Work course, the refresher is specifically designed to refresh your knowledge and give you the opportunity to practice critical first aid techniques under the supervision of a qualified assessor. This course also ensures that you remain fully compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines.
Eligibility & When to Book
Our 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course in Caerphilly is available for those who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. To avoid needing to take the full 3-day course, we recommend booking your place before your current qualification expires.
If your certificate has expired, you can still enrol in the course within a 28-day grace period. After this period, you will need to complete the full First Aid at Work course to renew your qualification.
When attending the course, remember to bring your current or recently expired FAW certificate to verify your eligibility for the refresher training.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
By attending the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Caerphilly, you’ll revisit essential skills and techniques from the full First Aid at Work syllabus. This 2-day course is designed to ensure your first aid knowledge remains current and your skills are refreshed, giving you the confidence to handle any workplace emergency effectively. Under the supervision of a qualified assessor, you’ll practise real-life scenarios and techniques in compliance with the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines.
- Refreshing your knowledge of casualty assessment and conducting thorough scene surveys
- Practising techniques for managing choking incidents and controlling severe bleeding
- Demonstrating the recovery position and managing seizure situations confidently
- Revisiting the roles and responsibilities of a first aider, with a strong emphasis on infection control and hygiene
- Learning how to effectively perform adult CPR and use the Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
- Responding appropriately to medical emergencies such as heart attacks, strokes, asthma attacks, and diabetic emergencies
- Providing immediate care for burns, scalds, shock, and minor injuries

Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher course in Caerphilly is assessed through a combination of practical demonstrations, trainer observation, and a brief multiple-choice test. This ensures that you can confidently demonstrate and apply the refreshed first aid skills that you've learned throughout the course.
Once you’ve successfully completed the course, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for another three years. This certificate is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), ensuring compliance with UK workplace health and safety standards.
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
It’s important to distinguish between the annual refresher course and the full 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. The annual refresher is a shorter session aimed at helping you maintain your first aid skills annually. However, it does not extend or renew your qualification.
If your FAW certificate is nearing its expiration, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the official way to renew your First Aid at Work certification for an additional three years, keeping you fully compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines.
Who Is the Course For?
The 2-day FAW Refresher course in Caerphilly is designed for appointed first aiders working in medium to high-risk environments. This includes sectors such as construction sites, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and larger office spaces. The course is ideal for individuals who need to renew their qualifications and ensure ongoing compliance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements to maintain a safe working environment.

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.
