What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher — also known as the FAW Requalification — is a 2-day training course for learners whose FAW certificate is due to expire. By completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Hampshire, you can renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for a further three years.
Instead of repeating the full three-day programme, this refresher is focused on updating your knowledge and giving you structured time to practise essential first aid skills under the guidance of an assessor. It also helps you remain compliant with current Health and Safety Executive (HSE) expectations.
Eligibility & When to Book
This 2-day First Aid at Work renewal course is only suitable for learners who already hold a valid FAW certificate. To avoid needing to retake the full 3-day First Aid at Work course, you should book your place before your current qualification expires.
A 28-day grace period applies after expiry. If your certificate has expired for longer than this, you will need to restart with the full FAW course.
To attend, you will need to bring proof of your in-date (or recently expired) FAW certificate on the first day of training in Hampshire.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
By joining the FAW Requalification in Hampshire, you will revisit the full First Aid at Work syllabus again — keeping your knowledge current and ensuring your certificate remains valid. Over two days, you will practise the core skills and scenarios expected of workplace first aiders.
- First aider responsibilities, incident response, and infection prevention
- Scene surveys, primary assessment, and casualty checks
- Adult CPR techniques and AED use
- Managing unconscious casualties and the recovery position
- Choking response and controlling severe bleeding
- Responding to seizures and supporting ongoing casualty care
- Treating shock, burns, scalds, and minor workplace injuries
- Managing suspected fractures and head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Responding to eye injuries and suspected poisoning
- Recognising anaphylaxis and using auto-injectors correctly
- Dealing with medical emergencies such as heart attack, stroke, asthma, epilepsy, and diabetes
Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher in Hampshire is assessed through practical demonstrations, trainer observation throughout the course, and a short multiple-choice test. This ensures you can apply the refreshed skills confidently and safely in workplace situations.
On successful completion, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for another three years and recognised in line with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidance.
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
It’s easy to confuse the annual refresher with the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a short session that helps you practise once a year and keep your confidence up, but it does not renew your certificate.
If your certificate is nearing expiry, you will need to complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the course that formally renews your First Aid at Work qualification for a further three years.
Who Is the Course For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher is aimed at qualified first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments such as construction, manufacturing, warehousing, and larger office settings. It’s ideal for anyone who needs to renew their qualification on time and stay aligned with current HSE expectations.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Hampshire
If you’re renewing several staff members at once, arranging on-site training at your workplace can be the simplest option. A qualified trainer can deliver the full 2-day requalification course at your premises, so your team can refresh key skills together and keep disruption to a minimum.
On-site training offers several benefits:
- ✓ Reduced travel and less time away from work
- ✓ Dates and timings that fit your schedule
- ✓ Delivery tailored to your site-specific risks
- ✓ Practical group learning in a single workplace setting
- ✓ Better value when training larger teams

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

The refresher runs over 2 days. Each day is typically around 6–7 hours, including breaks, making it shorter than the full 3-day First Aid at Work course.
It's for learners who already hold a valid FAW certificate or whose certificate has only recently expired (commonly within a short grace period, such as 28 days). You'll need to bring proof of your previous FAW certification on the day.
