What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, or FAW Requalification, is a 2-day course designed for those whose FAW certification is approaching expiration. By attending this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Lincoln, you’ll be able to renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for another three years, ensuring you're up to date with the latest procedures and requirements.
Unlike the comprehensive 3-day course, the refresher focuses specifically on updating your knowledge and allows you to practice vital skills, all under the guidance of an experienced assessor. This course ensures you remain compliant with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Eligibility & When to Book
This 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is available to those who already hold a current FAW certificate. It's recommended that you book as soon as possible, ideally before your certificate expires, to avoid the need to complete the full 3-day course.
A 28-day grace period applies after expiry. If your certification has been expired for more than this period, you will need to take the full First Aid at Work course again.
On the first day of training, you will be required to present proof of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
By taking the FAW Requalification in Lincoln, you will revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your skills and knowledge are up to date. Over the two-day period, you will refresh the core skills needed by every workplace first aider.
- Understanding the first aider’s role and infection control measures
- Conducting scene surveys and casualty assessments
- Adult CPR and AED practice
- Proper recovery position and managing seizures
- First aid for choking and severe bleeding
- Treatment for shock, burns, scalds, and minor injuries
- Managing fractures, spinal, head, and chest injuries
- First aid for eye injuries and suspected poisoning
- Recognising and administering treatment for anaphylaxis using auto-injectors
- Responding to medical emergencies like heart attacks, strokes, asthma, epilepsy, and diabetes
Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher in Lincoln includes practical assessments, trainer observations, and a short multiple-choice test to ensure competency in applying the skills learned.
Upon successful completion, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for another three years and fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
It’s common to confuse the annual refresher with the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a brief course designed to help you practice essential first aid skills once a year. While helpful, it does not renew your certification.
When your certificate is nearing expiration, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only training that will formally extend your First Aid at Work qualification for another three years.
Who Is the Course For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher is tailored for designated first aiders working in medium to high-risk environments, including construction sites, manufacturing plants, warehouses, and large office spaces. It’s specifically for those looking to maintain their qualification and stay compliant with HSE regulations.

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.
