What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, or FAW Requalification, is a 2-day training programme designed for individuals whose FAW certificate is nearing expiry. Completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Milton Keynes allows you to renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for a further three years.
This refresher course is different from the full three-day FAW course, as it focuses on updating your existing knowledge and giving you hands-on practice of vital first aid skills under the guidance of a qualified assessor. It also ensures you remain fully compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
Eligibility & When to Book
The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course in Milton Keynes is designed specifically for those who already hold a valid FAW certificate. To ensure you can renew without interruption, it’s best to book your place before your current qualification expires.
If your FAW certificate has expired, there is a 28-day grace period during which you can still attend the refresher. Certificates beyond this window will require you to complete the full three-day FAW course again.
On the first day of training, please bring proof of your existing or recently expired FAW certificate, as this is required for enrolment.
What You’ll Refresh and Practise During the Course
Attending the FAW Refresher course in Milton Keynes allows you to revisit the full First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your knowledge is current and your Level 3 FAW qualification remains valid. Over the two days, you’ll get hands-on practice with the key skills that every workplace first aider must master.
- Roles and responsibilities of a workplace first aider, including infection control
- Conducting scene assessments and casualty surveys
- Adult CPR and using an AED effectively
- Placing casualties in the recovery position and managing seizures
- Administering first aid for choking and severe bleeding
- Treating shock, burns, scalds, and minor injuries
- Managing fractures, head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Providing care for eye injuries and suspected poisoning
- Recognising and responding to anaphylaxis with auto-injectors
- Responding appropriately to heart attacks, strokes, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes emergencies
Assessment & Certification
The FAW Refresher course in Milton Keynes is assessed through a combination of practical exercises, trainer observation, and a brief multiple-choice test. This approach ensures you can confidently demonstrate the first aid skills you’ve updated during the course.
After successfully completing the training, you’ll be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. This certificate is valid for three years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
It’s common to mix up the annual refresher with the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is just a short course that helps you practise your skills once a year. It’s useful, but it won’t renew your certificate.
If your certificate is expiring, you will need to complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only course that formally renews your First Aid at Work qualification for a period of three years.
Who Should Attend the Course?
The 2-day FAW Refresher course in Milton Keynes is ideal for designated first aiders working in medium to high-risk environments, including construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large office settings. It’s tailored for those who need to maintain their Level 3 FAW qualification and stay fully compliant with Health and Safety Executive (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.
