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 approaching its expiration. By attending this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Newry, you will be able to renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years.
Unlike the full three-day First Aid at Work programme, this refresher course focuses primarily on refreshing your knowledge and allowing you to practise vital skills under the guidance of an assessor. It ensures you remain fully compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements.
Eligibility & When to Book
To enrol in this 2-day First Aid at Work renewal course, learners must already hold a valid FAW certificate. It is advisable to book your place before your current qualification expires to avoid the need to retake the full 3-day First Aid at Work course.
A 28-day grace period is available after the certificate expires. If the expiry extends beyond this period, you will be required to complete the full FAW course from the beginning.
On the first day of training, please ensure you bring proof of your current or recently expired FAW certificate.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
During the FAW Requalification in Newry, you will revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus to ensure your knowledge is up to date and that your certificate remains valid. Over the course of two days, you will practice key skills that are essential for every workplace first aider.
- First aider responsibilities and infection control
- Scene assessments and casualty surveys
- Adult CPR and AED practice
- Managing the recovery position and handling seizures
- First aid for choking and severe bleeding
- Providing treatment for 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 Newry is evaluated through a combination of practical demonstrations, trainer observations, and a brief multiple-choice test. This approach ensures that you are confident in applying the skills you have refreshed throughout the course.
Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for an additional three years and fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
Many people confuse the annual refresher course with 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 certificate.
If your certificate is nearing expiry, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only course that officially renews your First Aid at Work qualification for another three years.
Who Is the Course For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is intended for appointed first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments, including construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large offices. It is ideal for those who need to update their qualification and stay compliant with HSE regulations.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Newry
If you have multiple employees 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 directly at your premises, enabling your team to refresh their skills together.
On-site training provides a range of advantages:
- ✓ Flexible scheduling options
- ✓ Tailored to your workplace’s specific risks
- ✓ Cost-effective for larger teams
- ✓ Group training 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.
