Understanding the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, sometimes called the FAW Requalification, is a concise 2-day course designed for those whose Level 3 FAW certificate is approaching expiry. Completing this refresher in Kent allows you to extend your FAW qualification for an additional three years.
Unlike the full three-day First Aid at Work programme, the refresher concentrates on refreshing your existing knowledge and gives you hands-on practice of key skills under the guidance of a qualified assessor. This ensures you remain fully aligned with the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommendations.
Who Can Attend & Booking Guidance
This 2-day First Aid at Work refresher is designed exclusively for learners who already hold a valid FAW certificate. To ensure a smooth renewal, it’s best to book your place before your current qualification runs out, so you won’t need to complete the full three-day FAW course again.
There is a short 28-day window after your certificate expires during which you can still take the refresher. Beyond this period, enrollment in the complete FAW course will be required.
On the first day, please bring your current or recently expired FAW certificate as proof of eligibility to participate.
Skills & Knowledge You’ll Refresh During the Course
Attending the FAW Requalification in Kent allows you to revisit the full First Aid at Work syllabus, keeping your knowledge current and your certification valid. Across two days, you’ll get hands-on practice with the vital skills every workplace first aider should master.
- Roles and responsibilities of a first aider, plus infection control measures
- Assessing the scene and evaluating casualties safely
- Adult CPR techniques and AED usage
- Recovery position and handling seizures
- Providing first aid for choking and severe bleeding
- Managing shock, burns, scalds, and minor injuries
- Handling fractures, head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Treating eye injuries and suspected poisoning cases
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis with auto-injectors
- Responding to heart attack, stroke, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetic emergencies
Assessment & Certification
The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher in Kent is evaluated through practical exercises, trainer observation, and a brief multiple-choice assessment. This approach ensures you can confidently apply the skills you practise during the course.
Upon successful completion, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for three years and fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs FAW Requalification
It’s important to distinguish between the annual skills refresher and the FAW Requalification. The annual refresher is a shorter course for reviewing your skills each year, but it does not extend your certification.
To formally renew your First Aid at Work qualification for three more years, you need to complete the 2-day FAW Requalification course.
Who Should Take This Course?
This 2-day FAW Refresher is ideal for appointed first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments, including construction, manufacturing, warehouses, and large office settings. It ensures your certification remains up to date and compliant with HSE standards.

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.
