What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as FAW Requalification, is a 2-day course for those whose FAW certification is approaching its expiration. By completing this refresher training in Nottinghamshire, you will extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years.
Unlike the comprehensive three-day programme, this refresher focuses on refreshing your knowledge and helping you hone critical skills under the guidance of an assessor. It ensures that you remain compliant with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Eligibility & When to Book
This 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is designed for individuals who already possess a valid FAW certificate. To avoid the need for retaking the full 3-day First Aid at Work course, it is essential to book your place before your current qualification expires.
You have a 28-day grace period after your certificate expires. If your certification has lapsed beyond this period, you will be required to start the full FAW course again.
Make sure to bring proof of your current or recently expired FAW certificate on the first day of training to gain entry to the course.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
By attending the FAW Refresher course in Nottinghamshire, you will revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your skills and knowledge are up-to-date, and your certification remains valid. Over the two-day course, you will engage in practical exercises to reinforce the essential skills needed for any workplace first aider.
- Understanding the responsibilities of a first aider and infection control measures
- Performing scene surveys and casualty assessments
- Practising adult CPR and using an AED
- Applying the recovery position and managing seizures
- First aid techniques for choking and severe bleeding
- Treating shock, burns, scalds, and minor injuries
- Managing fractures and injuries to the head, spine, and chest
- Providing care for eye injuries and suspected poisoning
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis with the use of auto-injectors
- Responding to medical emergencies such as heart attacks, strokes, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes
Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher course in Nottinghamshire includes a combination of practical demonstrations, trainer observations, and a brief multiple-choice test. This assessment method ensures you are fully capable of applying the refreshed skills confidently in real-life situations.
Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for another three years, and recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
It’s easy to confuse the annual refresher with the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a shorter course designed to help you practice your first aid skills each year. While beneficial, it does not extend your certification.
If your certificate is nearing its expiration, 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 years.
Who Is the Course For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is intended for designated first aiders in medium- to high-risk environments, including construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large office spaces. It is tailored for those who need to update their qualification and remain compliant with HSE standards.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Nottinghamshire
If you have a group of staff members requiring FAW requalification, arranging on-site training at your workplace might be the most convenient option. An accredited trainer can deliver the full 2-day course right at your premises, enabling your team to refresh their skills as a group.
Choosing on-site training comes with several advantages:
- ✓ Customisable dates and times to fit your schedule
- ✓ Training tailored to your workplace’s specific risks
- ✓ A cost-effective option for larger groups
- ✓ Group training in a single session
- ✓ Reduced travel time and minimal disruption to work

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