What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher Course?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as the FAW Requalification, is a two-day course designed for those in Fareham whose FAW certification is about to expire. This refresher course allows you to update your knowledge and extend your Level 3 FAW certification for another three years.
Unlike the full three-day programme, this course focuses on reviewing the essential skills you need to respond effectively to emergencies. The training ensures you remain fully compliant with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines while allowing you to practice and refine your first aid skills.
Eligibility & When to Book
The First Aid at Work Refresher course in Fareham is available for those who currently hold a valid FAW certificate or one that has recently expired. If your certificate has lapsed for more than 28 days, you will need to complete the full three-day FAW course again.
We recommend that you book the refresher course before your current certification expires to ensure your qualification remains up to date and you don't miss the chance to take advantage of the reduced duration.
Make sure to bring proof of your valid or recently expired certificate with you on the first day of training to be eligible for the refresher course.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
Joining the FAW Requalification course in Fareham will help you refresh the entire First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your skills stay up-to-date and your qualification remains valid. Over two days, you’ll have the opportunity to revisit and practice essential first aid skills for high-risk workplaces.
- Understanding first aider responsibilities and infection control procedures
- Scene surveys and casualty assessment techniques
- Practicing adult CPR and using an AED safely
- Placing a casualty in the recovery position and managing seizures effectively
- First aid for choking incidents and severe bleeding control
- Treating shock, burns, scalds, and other minor injuries
- Managing fractures, head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Recognising and providing care for eye injuries and poisoning
- Identifying and responding to anaphylaxis with auto-injectors
- Responding to medical emergencies such as heart attacks, strokes, and epilepsy
Assessment & Certification
The FAW Refresher course in Fareham is assessed through practical demonstrations, trainer observations, and a short multiple-choice test. These assessments ensure that you are confident and prepared to apply your skills in real-life workplace emergencies.
Upon successful completion, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for three years. This qualification is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), confirming your ability to manage workplace incidents with competence and confidence.
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
It’s important to distinguish between the annual refresher and the official 2-day FAW Refresher course. The annual refresher is a brief skills update, designed to keep your knowledge sharp between renewals. However, it does not extend the validity of your certificate.
If your FAW certificate is expiring, you will need to complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This course reviews the entire First Aid at Work syllabus and ensures you remain fully compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations for the next three years.
Who Is the Course For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher is designed for appointed first aiders in medium- to high-risk workplaces, such as construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large offices. It’s designed for those who need to keep their qualification up to date and remain compliant with HSE requirements.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Fareham

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.
