What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work Refresher, also known as the FAW Requalification, is a 2-day course for those whose FAW certification is approaching expiry. By completing the First Aid at Work Refresher course, you will renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for another three years.
This refresher course focuses on updating and reinforcing essential first-aid skills for the workplace. It allows you to refresh your knowledge, ensuring you're confident in applying the skills under supervision, while remaining fully compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Eligibility & When to Book
The 2-day First Aid at Work renewal course is exclusively for individuals who already hold a valid FAW certificate. To ensure you do not need to retake the full three-day First Aid at Work course, it's essential to book your place before your certificate expires.
You have a 28-day grace period after your certificate expires. If your certificate has expired beyond this period, you will be required to complete the full FAW course again.
Please note that you will need to bring proof of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate on the first day of the course.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
The FAW Requalification course ensures your knowledge of first aid at work is up-to-date and keeps your certification valid for another three years. Throughout this 2-day course, you will refresh and practice crucial skills needed by every workplace first aider.
- Conducting scene surveys and assessing casualties
- Practising Adult CPR and AED usage
- Managing shock, burns, and minor injuries
- Using the recovery position and dealing with seizures
- Administering first aid for choking and severe bleeding
- Handling fractures, and head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Treating eye injuries and suspected poisoning
- Managing anaphylaxis with auto-injectors
- Responding to emergencies such as heart attack, stroke, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes
- Understanding first aider responsibilities and infection control
Assessment & Certification
The assessment for the First Aid at Work Refresher course involves a combination of practical demonstrations, trainer observations, and a brief multiple-choice test. These assessments ensure you can confidently apply the refreshed skills in real-world situations.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for another three years. This certification is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
It’s important to distinguish between the annual refresher course and the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a short course designed to help you maintain your first aid skills throughout the year. While beneficial, it does not extend your certification.
In contrast, the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course is specifically designed to renew your First Aid at Work qualification for an additional three years. This is the only course that formally extends the validity of your FAW certification.
Who Is the Course For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is intended for designated first aiders working in environments with medium to high-risk factors, such as warehouses, factories, construction sites, and large offices. It’s aimed at individuals who need to keep their FAW qualification up to date and ensure they remain compliant with HSE regulations.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Fife
If you have multiple employees requiring the FAW requalification, organising on-site training could be a more efficient solution. A certified trainer can conduct the entire 2-day requalification course at your premises, enabling your team to refresh their skills together.
On-site training offers numerous advantages:
- ✓ Adapted to your workplace's specific risks
- ✓ Flexible scheduling for dates and times
- ✓ Cost-effective for large groups
- ✓ Group training in a single session
- ✓ Minimised travel and less time away from 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.
I just completed the First Aid at Work refresher course and I'm glad it went efficiently and in a friendly way. Thanks
