What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work Refresher, sometimes referred to as the FAW Requalification, is a focused two-day course designed for individuals whose existing FAW certificate is approaching expiry. Completing this refresher allows you to renew your Level 3 First Aid at Work qualification for a further three years.
Rather than repeating the full three-day programme, the refresher focuses on reinforcing essential first aid skills and updating your knowledge to align with current guidance. During the course, you’ll practise key techniques under the guidance of a qualified assessor, ensuring you remain compliant with Health and Safety.
Eligibility & Booking Guidance
The First Aid at Work Refresher is designed exclusively for learners who have previously completed the FAW qualification. To remain eligible for requalification, it’s strongly recommended that you secure your place before your existing certificate expires.
A short renewal window is available once your qualification expires. This grace period typically lasts up to 28 days. If this timeframe is exceeded, you’ll be required to complete the full three-day First Aid at Work course again.
On the first day of training, you must present evidence of your current or recently expired FAW certificate so your eligibility can be confirmed.
What Skills and Knowledge Will You Revisit?
During the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification) in Derby, you’ll revisit the full FAW syllabus to ensure your skills remain current and your certification stays valid. This two-day course is built around hands-on practice, giving you the confidence to respond effectively to real workplace emergencies.
- Roles, responsibilities, and safe working practices for first aiders
- Assessing emergency situations and prioritising casualty care
- Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and safe use of an AED
- Placing casualties in the recovery position and responding to seizures
- Managing choking incidents and life-threatening bleeding
- Treatment of shock, burns, scalds, and common minor injuries
- Care for fractures and injuries to the head, spine, chest, and ribs
- Responding to eye injuries and suspected cases of poisoning
- Identifying anaphylaxis and administering auto-injectors correctly
- Recognising and responding to medical emergencies such as heart attack, stroke, asthma, epilepsy, and diabetes
Assessment & Certification
To confirm your understanding and practical ability, the First Aid at Work Refresher course in Derby is evaluated through a combination of hands-on skill demonstrations, ongoing trainer observation, and a short multiple-choice assessment. This approach ensures you can apply what you’ve revised in real workplace situations.
Once you successfully meet the assessment criteria, you’ll be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. This qualification remains valid for a further three years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Skills Update vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
The annual first aid refresher and the FAW Requalification are often confused, but they serve very different purposes. An annual refresher is a short session designed to help first aiders practise key techniques and stay confident in their role. However, it does not extend or renew your qualification.
If your First Aid at Work certificate is nearing its expiry date, the two-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) is essential. This is the only recognised route to renewing your FAW qualification and maintaining certification for a further three years.
Who Should Attend This Course?
This refresher course is designed for trained workplace first aiders working in medium- and high-risk environments. It’s particularly suitable for those working in settings such as manufacturing, construction, logistics, warehouses, and larger office environments where HSE compliance is essential.
The course is ideal for anyone who needs to keep their First Aid at Work qualification valid while continuing to meet workplace safety responsibilities.

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.
