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 training course designed for individuals whose FAW certificate is about to expire. By completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Newport, you can extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for another three years.
Unlike the full three-day programme, this refresher focuses on updating your knowledge and giving you the chance to practice essential skills under the supervision of an assessor. It also ensures you remain fully compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines.
Eligibility & When to Book
This 2-day First Aid at Work renewal course is only available to learners who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. You should book your place before your certificate expires to avoid having to retake the full 3-day First Aid at Work course.
There is a 28-day grace period after the expiry date. If your certificate has lapsed beyond this period, you will need to take the full FAW course again.
To attend the course, you must bring proof of your current or recently expired FAW certificate on the first day of training.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
By attending the FAW Requalification in Newport, you will revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your knowledge is current and your certificate remains valid. Over two days, you will refresh the essential skills every workplace first aider needs.
- Understanding first aider responsibilities and infection control
- Scene surveys and casualty assessment
- Adult CPR and AED practice
- Recovery position and seizure management
- First aid for choking and 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 attack, stroke, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes
Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher in Newport is assessed through a combination of practical demonstrations, trainer observation, and a short multiple-choice test. This ensures you can confidently apply the refreshed skills 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).
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
The annual refresher and the FAW Requalification are often confused. The annual refresher is a shorter course that helps you practice your first aid skills once a year, but it doesn’t renew your certificate.
If your certificate is expiring, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only course that formally renews your First Aid at Work qualification for an additional three-year period.
Who Is the Course For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is designed for appointed first aiders in medium- to high-risk workplaces, such as construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large offices. It’s ideal for individuals who need to renew their qualification and stay compliant with HSE requirements.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Newport
If you have several staff members who need to renew their FAW qualification, arranging on-site training at your workplace can be a convenient option. An accredited trainer can deliver the full 2-day requalification course directly at your premises, allowing your team to refresh their skills together.
On-site training offers several benefits:
- ✓ Flexible choice of dates and times
- ✓ Adapted to your workplace risks
- ✓ Cost-effective for larger teams
- ✓ Group training in one 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.
