What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work Refresher, also referred to as FAW Requalification, is a two-day course designed for individuals whose FAW certificate is nearing its expiry date. This training offers a chance to renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years, ensuring that your certification stays up-to-date and compliant with industry standards.
This refresher course focuses on updating key first aid skills and knowledge, allowing you to practise critical procedures under the guidance of an assessor. Unlike the full three-day course, the refresher is a more concise training that keeps you aligned with the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines.
Eligibility & When to Book
To be eligible for this two-day First Aid at Work Refresher course, you must currently hold a valid FAW certificate. We recommend booking your place as soon as possible to ensure you don't miss the renewal deadline and avoid the need to complete the full three-day First Aid at Work course.
If your certificate has expired, you have a 28-day grace period to attend the refresher course. After this period, you will need to retake the full FAW training.
Don't forget to bring your current or recently expired FAW certificate on the first day of training for verification.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
During the FAW Requalification course in Eastbourne, you will revisit the key topics of the First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your skills are sharp and up-to-date. Over two days, you'll participate in practical exercises to refresh the core first aid skills required in any workplace setting.
- Assessing casualties and performing scene surveys
- Recognising the responsibilities of a first aider and implementing infection control
- Administering Adult CPR and using an AED
- Placing individuals in the recovery position and handling seizures
- Managing severe bleeding and choking emergencies
- Providing care for burns, scalds, and minor injuries
- Immobilising fractures and treating head, spinal, and chest injuries

Assessment & Certification
To complete the First Aid at Work Refresher course in Eastbourne, you will undergo a combination of practical assessments, trainer-led observation, and a brief multiple-choice exam. These evaluation methods ensure that you have the necessary skills to handle first aid situations confidently and effectively.
Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, which remains valid for three years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
It’s important to understand the difference between the annual refresher and the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a short course that allows you to practice your first aid skills each year, but it does not extend the validity of your certificate.
If your certificate is close to expiring, the only way to formally renew it is by completing the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This course will extend your qualification for another three years, ensuring you remain compliant with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Who Should Take This Course?
This 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is aimed at individuals who are already appointed first aiders and work in environments that carry a medium to high risk. Professions such as those in construction, large offices, warehouses, factories, and other high-risk sectors are ideal for this training. This course is specifically for those looking to renew their qualification and maintain compliance with HSE guidelines.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Eastbourne
If you have a team of staff requiring FAW qualification renewal, hosting an on-site First Aid at Work Refresher course at your workplace can be a more convenient option. An accredited trainer will deliver the full 2-day requalification course directly at your premises, allowing your team to update their skills together without having to leave the workplace.
On-site training comes with several advantages:
- ✓ Flexible scheduling options to suit your needs
