The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as the FAW Requalification, is a 2-day training course for individuals whose FAW certificate is approaching its expiry. By completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Newcastle upon Tyne, you can renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for another three years, ensuring continued compliance and readiness to respond to workplace emergencies.
Unlike the comprehensive three-day course, this refresher course focuses on updating your knowledge and gives you the opportunity to practice essential first aid skills under the supervision of an experienced assessor. It also ensures full compliance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines.
This 2-day First Aid at Work renewal course is exclusively available to learners who already possess a valid FAW certificate. To avoid having to retake the full 3-day course, you should book your place before your current qualification expires.
There is a 28-day grace period after your certificate expires. If you fail to renew within this period, you will need to complete the full FAW course again.
To attend the course, you will need to bring proof of your current or recently expired FAW certificate on the first day of training to confirm your eligibility.
By joining the FAW Requalification in Newcastle upon Tyne, you will cover the entire First Aid at Work syllabus once more, ensuring your knowledge is up to date and your certificate remains valid. Over the two-day course, you will refresh essential first aid skills, allowing you to manage a wide range of workplace incidents with confidence.
The First Aid at Work Refresher in Newcastle upon Tyne is assessed through a combination of practical demonstrations, trainer observation, and a short multiple-choice test. This assessment structure ensures that you can confidently apply the skills you've refreshed throughout the course in real-life situations.
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).
There is often confusion between the annual refresher course and the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a shorter course designed to help you practice and maintain your skills each year. While helpful, it does not renew your certificate.
If your certificate is due to expire, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only course that will formally renew your First Aid at Work qualification for a further three years.
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is designed for appointed first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments such as construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large office spaces. It is specifically for those who need to update their qualification and maintain compliance with HSE regulations.
If you have multiple employees who need to renew their FAW qualification, arranging on-site training at your workplace could be the most convenient option. An accredited trainer can deliver the full 2-day requalification course at your premises, allowing your team to refresh their skills in a familiar environment.
On-site training provides several benefits:
The Newcastle upon Tyne training venue is centrally located, making it easy for first aiders needing to renew their FAW certificate to attend the 2-day course with minimal disruption. The venue is easily accessible by public transport, with nearby train and bus connections, and parking is available for those travelling by car.

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.
I just completed the First Aid at Work refresher course and I'm glad it went efficiently and in a friendly way. Thanks
