What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, or FAW Requalification, is a condensed two-day course for individuals whose First Aid at Work (FAW) certification is nearing expiry. By completing the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Chesterfield, you will renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years, ensuring that you stay fully compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Rather than repeating the full three-day course, this refresher focuses on re-familiarising you with essential first aid practices and updating your knowledge. You will also have the opportunity to demonstrate your skills under the supervision of an assessor, ensuring you are ready to respond confidently in the event of an emergency.
Eligibility & When to Book
The First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Chesterfield is designed for individuals who already possess a valid First Aid at Work (FAW) certificate. To ensure you remain certified and avoid the need to complete the full 3-day course, it’s important to book your spot before your current certificate expires.
If your certificate has expired, you still have the opportunity to join the course within a 28-day grace period. If this period has passed, you will be required to complete the full FAW course again to regain certification.
On the first day of your training, remember to bring proof of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate to verify your eligibility for this requalification programme.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
By enrolling in the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Chesterfield, you will revisit key components of the FAW syllabus, ensuring that your knowledge and practical skills are current. This course combines hands-on exercises and guided demonstrations, enabling you to feel confident and prepared when managing workplace medical emergencies.
- Performing adult CPR and confidently using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
- Reinforcing the role of a first aider and essential infection control practices
- Assessing the scene of an emergency and ensuring the safety of both the casualty and bystanders
- Managing choking, severe bleeding, and shock-related incidents effectively
- Using the recovery position and responding to seizure emergencies with competence
- Administering first aid for burns, scalds, and soft tissue injuries
- Providing appropriate care for fractures and injuries to the head, spine, and chest
- Recognising anaphylaxis and correctly administering auto-injectors
- Dealing with eye injuries and cases of poisoning in the workplace
- Responding swiftly to common emergencies like heart attacks, strokes, and diabetic conditions
Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Chesterfield is evaluated through a combination of practical demonstrations, trainer-led observation, and a brief multiple-choice test. These assessments ensure that you can confidently apply the essential first aid skills learned during the course in workplace scenarios.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive an updated Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for another three years. This certification is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), ensuring you meet the required standards for workplace first aid compliance.
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
It’s common to confuse the annual refresher with the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification). The annual refresher is a brief session that helps you maintain your skills and build confidence each year, but it does not renew your certification.
If your FAW certificate is about to expire, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher course. This is the only course recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) that will renew your certification for another three years and ensure continued compliance with workplace safety regulations.
Who Is the Course For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher Course in Chesterfield is designed for first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments, such as construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large office buildings. It is ideal for those who need to renew their existing qualification and stay compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements, ensuring they are prepared to manage workplace emergencies effectively.

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.
