What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as the FAW Requalification, is a two-day course designed for individuals in Exeter whose FAW certificate is about to expire. By completing this refresher course, you can extend your Level 3 FAW certification for another three years.
Unlike the full three-day programme, this refresher focuses on updating your skills and knowledge, giving you the opportunity to practice vital techniques under the supervision of an assessor. This ensures you remain fully compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
Eligibility & When to Book
This 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Exeter is open to those who already hold a valid FAW certificate. It is recommended that you book before your certificate expires to avoid having to take the full 3-day FAW course again.
If your certificate has expired, you can still attend the course within a 28-day grace period. After this time, you will need to retake the full FAW qualification.
When you attend, please bring proof of your current or recently expired FAW certificate on the first day of training.
What Will You Refresh and Practise During the Course?
During the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Exeter, you’ll revisit the full FAW syllabus over two days, ensuring your skills are up to date and your certification remains valid for another three years. You will review key first aid techniques and practice essential skills needed in any workplace.
- Practising adult CPR and the use of an AED (Automated External Defibrillator)
- Reinforcing the responsibilities of a first aider and infection control techniques
- Responding to heart attacks, strokes, asthma attacks, epilepsy, and diabetes emergencies
- Placing casualties in the recovery position and providing assistance during seizures
- Conducting scene surveys and performing casualty assessments
- Managing choking incidents and controlling severe bleeding

Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Exeter is assessed through practical demonstrations, trainer observations, and a short multiple-choice test. This ensures that you can confidently apply the refreshed skills in real-life workplace scenarios.
Upon successful completion of the course, you’ll receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for another three years. This certification is fully compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards, ensuring workplace safety and regulatory compliance.
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
The 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course is designed for those whose First Aid at Work certificate is about to expire. This course ensures your qualification is renewed for another three years and your skills remain current with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
In contrast, the annual refresher is a shorter course focused on keeping your first aid skills sharp. While it’s useful for regular practice, it does not renew your FAW certificate or extend its validity.
Who Is the Course For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course in Exeter is specifically intended for individuals who already hold a valid FAW certificate and need to renew it. The course is suitable for those working in high-risk industries like construction, manufacturing, warehouses, and large offices. It's designed for first aiders who want to remain compliant with HSE requirements and continue to provide effective emergency care in the workplace.

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.
