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 course designed for individuals whose FAW certificate is nearing expiration. By completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Lowestoft, you can extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for another three years.
Unlike the comprehensive three-day course, this refresher is focused on updating your knowledge and honing critical skills under the guidance of a certified assessor. It also ensures your compliance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Eligibility & When to Book
The 2-day First Aid at Work renewal course is specifically for individuals who already possess a valid FAW certificate. It’s important to secure your booking prior to your qualification's expiration to prevent the need for retaking the entire 3-day First Aid at Work course.
You have a 28-day grace period after your certificate expires. If this period has passed, you will need to complete the full FAW course again.
Make sure to bring proof of your current or recently expired FAW certificate on the first day of training.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
During the FAW Requalification in Lowestoft, you'll revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus—ensuring that your skills are up to date and your certificate remains valid. Throughout the two days, you'll practice essential first aid skills for any workplace emergency.
- Understanding the responsibilities of a first aider and infection control
- Conducting scene surveys and casualty assessments
- Adult CPR and AED (Automated External Defibrillator) practice
- Recovery position and managing seizures
- First aid for choking and controlling severe bleeding
- Treating shock, burns, scalds, and minor injuries
- Managing fractures, head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Care for eye injuries and suspected poisoning
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis with auto-injectors
- Responding to heart attacks, strokes, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes
Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher in Lowestoft is assessed through a combination of practical demonstrations, trainer observations, and a brief multiple-choice exam. This ensures you are fully capable of applying the skills you've refreshed during the course with confidence.
Upon successful completion, you will receive an updated Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for an additional three years and recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
There is often confusion between the annual refresher and the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a short course aimed at helping you practice your skills once a year. While beneficial, it does not renew your certification.
If your certificate is expiring, you’ll need to complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This course is the only one that officially renews your First Aid at Work qualification for another three years.
Who Is the Course For?
The 2-day FAW Refresher is designed for designated first aiders in medium- to high-risk environments, such as construction sites, warehouses, factories, and large office spaces. This course is ideal for those who need to keep their qualification up to date and remain compliant with HSE standards.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Lowestoft
If you have multiple staff members needing to renew their FAW qualification, arranging on-site training at your workplace could be more convenient. An accredited trainer can deliver the full 2-day requalification course on your premises, allowing your team to refresh their skills together.
On-site training offers several benefits:
- ✓ Flexible scheduling options
- ✓ Tailored to your workplace’s specific risks
- ✓ Cost-effective for larger teams
- ✓ Group training conducted in a single session

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.
