What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work Refresher, also known as FAW Requalification, is a two-day course for individuals whose existing FAW qualification is nearing expiry. Completing the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Norwich allows learners to renew their Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate for a further three years.
Rather than repeating the complete three-day training, this refresher programme concentrates on reinforcing current knowledge, revisiting key first aid procedures, and allowing participants to demonstrate practical competence under assessment. The course also ensures continued alignment with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements.
Eligibility & When to Book
The First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Norwich is intended for learners who already hold a First Aid at Work qualification and need to renew it before expiry. Booking this refresher in time allows you to maintain your certification without having to complete the full three-day First Aid at Work programme again.
A short grace period of up to 28 days applies after your certificate expires. If this period has passed, requalification is no longer available and the full FAW course must be completed instead.
Participants are required to present evidence of a valid or recently expired FAW certificate when attending the course, as this will be checked at the start of training.
What Will You Refresh and Practise During the Course?
During the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Norwich, learners revisit the full First Aid at Work syllabus to ensure their skills remain current and their qualification stays valid. Delivered over two days, the course emphasises hands-on practice and real-world decision-making expected of workplace first aiders.
- Assessing emergencies, carrying out scene surveys, and prioritising casualties
- Delivering effective adult CPR and using an automated external defibrillator (AED)
- Managing unconscious casualties, including the recovery position and seizure response
- Controlling severe bleeding and providing first aid for choking incidents
- Understanding the duties of a first aider, including infection prevention and control
- Treating burns, scalds, shock, and a range of minor workplace injuries
- Responding to fractures and serious injuries involving the head, spine, or chest
- Providing care for eye injuries and incidents involving suspected poisoning
- Recognising and responding to anaphylaxis, including the use of auto-injectors
- Managing medical emergencies such as heart attack, stroke, asthma, epilepsy, and diabetes
Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Norwich is evaluated through a combination of practical skill demonstrations and continuous trainer assessment, supported by a short multiple-choice knowledge check. This approach confirms that learners can apply refreshed first aid skills confidently and correctly in workplace situations.
Once the course has been completed, participants are awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. This qualification remains valid for a further three years and continues to meet Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
Annual Refresher vs the 2-Day FAW Requalification
The annual refresher and the First Aid at Work Requalification are often confused, but they serve different purposes. An annual refresher is a brief session designed to help first aiders practise key techniques and maintain confidence throughout the year.
However, if your First Aid at Work certificate is approaching expiry, the two-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course must be completed. This is the only recognised option that renews your qualification and extends its validity for another three years.
Who Is the Course For?
The First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Norwich is suitable for designated workplace first aiders who work in environments with moderate to high risk. This includes roles across sectors such as construction, manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, and larger office-based settings where first aid cover must remain current and compliant.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Norwich
For organisations with multiple employees who need to renew their First Aid at Work qualifications, on-site training can be a practical alternative to individual bookings.

- ✓ Reduced time lost to travel and disruption

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.
