The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as the FAW Requalification, is a 2-day training course designed for individuals whose FAW certificate is nearing expiration. By completing the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Durham, you can renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for another three years.
Unlike the full three-day course, this refresher focuses on updating your existing knowledge and giving you the opportunity to practice key skills under the supervision of an assessor. It helps you stay compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards while refreshing your life-saving techniques.
This 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Durham is available only to learners who already hold a valid FAW certificate. It's important to book before your certificate expires to avoid the need to retake the full 3-day FAW course.
You have a 28-day grace period after your certificate expires. If you miss this period, you will need to restart the full FAW programme.
To attend the course, bring proof of your current or recently expired FAW certificate with you on the first day of training.
During the First Aid at Work Refresher course in Durham, you will revisit the complete FAW syllabus, ensuring your knowledge remains current and your certificate stays valid. Over two days, you will practise essential life-saving techniques and workplace procedures to maintain your competence as a first aider.
Throughout the First Aid at Work Refresher course in Durham, you will be assessed through practical demonstrations, trainer observations, and a brief multiple-choice quiz. This comprehensive approach ensures you are confident in applying your refreshed knowledge and skills in real-world scenarios.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. This qualification is valid for three years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), confirming your continued competence as a first aider in the workplace.
Many people confuse the annual refresher with the official First Aid at Work Requalification course. The annual refresher is a brief skills update, ideal for keeping your knowledge sharp between course renewals. However, it does not renew your FAW certificate.
To renew your First Aid at Work certification for another three years, you will need to complete the full 2-day FAW Requalification course. This course revisits the entire First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your skills and knowledge remain up to date and fully compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
The First Aid at Work Refresher course in Durham is designed for individuals who already hold a valid FAW certificate and need to renew it. It’s especially suited for those working in high-risk workplaces, such as construction sites, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and busy office environments. It’s ideal for professionals who need to ensure they remain compliant with HSE standards and continue to provide effective first aid in the workplace.
If multiple members of your team in Durham need to renew their FAW certificates, organising on-site training could be the most efficient option. An accredited trainer will come to your workplace to deliver the complete 2-day requalification course, ensuring your team can update their skills together without needing to travel to an external venue.

The training venue in Durham is centrally located, offering easy access for those renewing their First Aid at Work qualification. The venue is well-served by public transport, with Durham Railway Station just a short walk away. Several bus routes connect the venue to nearby towns and suburbs, and parking is available for those driving to the location.
Learners come not only from Durham but also from nearby towns such as Chester-le-Street, Newton Aycliffe, Shildon, and Spennymoor. Many local businesses in these areas prefer to send their employees to Durham for the FAW Requalification due to its central location and excellent transport links.
