What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification) in Harrogate?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, or FAW Requalification, is a 2-day course designed for individuals whose FAW certification is nearing its expiration. Upon completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Harrogate, you will extend your Level 3 FAW certification for an additional three years.
Unlike the comprehensive three-day FAW course, this refresher session is specifically aimed at refreshing your knowledge and offering practical exercises under the guidance of a qualified assessor. It ensures your compliance with current Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Eligibility & When to Book in Harrogate
This 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is available to individuals who already hold a valid FAW certificate. It is recommended to book your place before your current certification expires to avoid the need to take the full 3-day FAW course again.
You can still attend the course within a 28-day grace period after your certificate has expired. However, if your certificate has been expired for more than 28 days, you will be required to enrol in the full FAW course to renew your qualification.
On the first day of the course, please bring your current or expired FAW certificate as proof of eligibility to attend the refresher training.
What Will You Refresh and Practise in Harrogate?
By enrolling in the FAW Refresher course in Harrogate, you'll revisit the full First Aid at Work curriculum, ensuring your skills are up to date and your certification stays valid. Throughout the two days, you'll refresh key skills that every workplace first aider must have.
- Responsibilities of a first aider and effective infection control
- Casualty assessment and conducting scene surveys
- CPR and AED techniques for adults
- Managing recovery position and handling seizures
- Responding to choking emergencies and severe bleeding
- Treatment for shock, burns, scalds, and minor injuries
- Handling fractures, and injuries to the head, spine, and chest
- First aid for eye injuries and suspected poisoning cases
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis using auto-injectors
- Responding effectively to heart attacks, strokes, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes
Assessment & Certification in Harrogate
The FAW Refresher course in Harrogate is evaluated through a combination of practical exercises, trainer assessments, and a brief multiple-choice exam. This approach ensures that you are fully capable of applying the refreshed skills in a real workplace setting.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, which remains valid for an additional three years and is recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs. 2-Day FAW Requalification
Many people confuse the annual refresher with the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a short session that allows you to practice your skills once a year, but it does not renew your certificate.
To renew your qualification, you must complete the 2-day FAW Requalification course. This is the only course that officially extends your First Aid at Work certification for another three years.
Who Should Take This Course?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is aimed at first aiders in medium- to high-risk environments, including construction sites, warehouses, factories, and large offices. It is intended for individuals who need to update their skills and stay compliant with HSE regulations.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Harrogate
If you have multiple staff members who need to renew their FAW qualification, organising on-site training at your workplace in Harrogate could be more convenient.

- ✓ Flexible scheduling options for dates and times
- ✓ Tailored to meet the specific risks of your workplace
- ✓ Cost-effective for 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.
