What Is 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 individuals whose FAW certificate is nearing expiry. Completing this course in Mansfield allows you to extend your Level 3 FAW certification for an additional three years.
Unlike the standard three-day First Aid at Work course, this refresher places emphasis on refreshing your existing knowledge and practising essential first aid skills under the guidance of a qualified assessor. It ensures you stay fully up to date with current Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements.
Eligibility & When to Book
The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher in Mansfield is designed exclusively for learners who already hold a valid FAW certificate. To maintain your Level 3 qualification without retaking the full three-day course, it’s best to book your place before your current certificate expires.
A short 28-day grace period is allowed after your certificate has expired. If your certification has lapsed beyond this timeframe, you will need to enrol in the full FAW course again.
On the first day of training, you must bring proof of your current or recently expired FAW certification to confirm your eligibility for the refresher course.
What Skills Will You Refresh and Practise?
During the 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher in Mansfield, you’ll revisit the full FAW syllabus to ensure your knowledge is current and your certification stays valid. The course gives you hands-on practice of the essential skills required by every workplace first aider under the guidance of a qualified assessor.
- Roles and responsibilities of a first aider, including infection control
- Assessing the scene and evaluating casualties
- Adult CPR and AED operation
- Placing a casualty in the recovery position and managing seizures
- Providing first aid for choking and severe bleeding
- Treating shock, burns, scalds, and minor injuries
- Managing fractures, head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Handling eye injuries and suspected poisoning
- Recognising anaphylaxis and using auto-injectors
- Responding to heart attack, stroke, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes emergencies
Assessment & Certification
The Mansfield First Aid at Work Refresher is evaluated through a combination of practical skill demonstrations, continuous trainer observation, and a short multiple-choice questionnaire. This approach ensures you can confidently apply the first aid skills you’ve practised during the course.
Upon successfully completing the refresher, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for three more years and fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs the 2-Day FAW Requalification
Many people confuse the annual refresher with the 2-day First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a brief session designed to practise your skills each year, but it does not extend or renew your certification.
To formally renew your Level 3 First Aid at Work qualification for another three years, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course in Mansfield. This is the official route for keeping your certification valid and HSE-compliant.
Who Can Attend This Course?
The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher in Mansfield is aimed at designated workplace first aiders operating in medium- to high-risk environments, including construction sites, warehouses, factories, and large office settings. It is ideal for those who need to maintain a current qualification and ensure compliance with Health and Safety Executive (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.
