What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher — sometimes referred to as the FAW Requalification — is designed for qualified workplace first aiders who need to renew their certification before it expires. By attending the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Haverfordwest, you can update your Level 3 FAW qualification and maintain its validity for a further three years.
This two-day refresher programme is shorter than the original three-day First Aid at Work course because it concentrates on revisiting key first aid principles and refreshing practical response skills. During the training, participants review emergency procedures and practise essential techniques under the guidance of an experienced assessor, ensuring their knowledge remains aligned with current Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommendations.
Eligibility & When to Book
This two-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is intended for individuals who already hold a First Aid at Work (FAW) qualification and need to renew it before it expires. Booking the refresher in advance helps ensure your certification remains valid without needing to complete the full three-day First Aid at Work training again.
If your FAW certificate expires, there is usually a short grace period of up to 28 days in which you can still take the requalification course. However, if the certificate has expired for longer than this period, you will normally be required to enrol on the full FAW course rather than the refresher.
You will also be asked to provide evidence of your current or recently expired FAW certificate when you attend the training. Bringing this documentation on the first day allows the training provider to confirm your eligibility for the refresher programme.
What Will You Refresh/Practice During the Course?
The First Aid at Work Refresher course revisits the full FAW syllabus to ensure workplace first aiders maintain the practical knowledge and confidence required to respond to emergencies. During the two-day training, participants review key first aid principles and practise the core techniques needed to assist casualties safely and effectively in a workplace environment.
- Carrying out scene surveys and performing a structured casualty assessment
- Practising adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and using an automated external defibrillator (AED)
- Placing casualties in the recovery position and responding to seizures
- Providing first aid for choking incidents and controlling severe bleeding
- Managing burns, scalds, shock, and other common minor injuries
- Recognising and stabilising fractures as well as head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Responding to medical emergencies such as heart attack, stroke, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes
- Identifying signs of anaphylaxis and administering treatment using an auto-injector
- Giving appropriate care for eye injuries and suspected poisoning cases
- Understanding the role and responsibilities of a workplace first aider, including infection prevention and control
Assessment & Certification
Throughout the First Aid at Work Refresher course in Haverfordwest, your practical skills will be assessed through a series of demonstrations, trainer-led observations, and a brief multiple-choice exam. This evaluation ensures that you can confidently apply your refreshed skills in real-world situations.
Upon successfully completing the course, you will receive an updated Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. This certification remains valid for three years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), helping you stay compliant with workplace health and safety regulations.
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
There is often confusion between the annual refresher and the FAW Requalification course. While the annual refresher is a shorter programme designed to help you practise your skills each year, it does not renew your certificate.
To ensure your First Aid at Work certification remains valid, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only course that formally renews your First Aid qualification for an additional three years.
Who Is the Course For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is designed for first aiders in medium to high-risk environments, such as construction sites, industrial facilities, warehouses, and large offices. It is ideal for those who need to keep their qualification up to date and stay compliant with the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
