What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?

The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, commonly known as the FAW Requalification, is a 2-day course for those whose FAW certification is nearing expiration. Taking this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Oldham allows you to extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years.

In contrast to the full three-day course, the refresher focuses on revisiting key concepts and giving you the chance to refine your essential skills with guidance from an experienced assessor. This ensures you remain compliant with the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements.

✅ You can enrol in this course if your FAW certificate is still valid or if you’re within the grace period following its expiry (usually up to 28 days).

Eligibility & When to Book

To enrol in this 2-day First Aid at Work renewal course, you must already hold a valid FAW certificate. It is advisable to book your place before your current certification expires, as waiting too long may require you to complete the full 3-day First Aid at Work course instead.

A 28-day grace period is available after your certification expires. If you miss this window, you will need to retake the full FAW course to regain your certification.

On the first day of training, you will need to provide evidence of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate for verification.

What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?

By participating in the FAW Requalification course in Oldham, you will revisit the full First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring that your knowledge is current and your certification stays valid. Over two days, you'll refine the essential skills for any workplace first aider.

  • Understanding the duties of a first aider and infection prevention
  • Casualty assessment and conducting a scene survey
  • Adult CPR and practising with an AED
  • Placing individuals in the recovery position and managing seizures
  • First aid procedures for choking and severe bleeding
  • Dealing with shock, burns, scalds, and treating minor injuries
  • Managing fractures, head injuries, and chest or spinal injuries
  • Treating eye injuries and suspected poisoning cases
  • Recognising anaphylaxis and using auto-injectors for treatment
  • Responding to medical emergencies such as heart attacks, strokes, asthma, epilepsy, and diabetes

Assessment & Certification

The FAW Refresher course in Oldham is assessed using a combination of practical demonstrations, direct trainer observation, and a brief multiple-choice test. This ensures that you are fully prepared to apply the refreshed skills in real-world scenarios with confidence.

Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for an additional three years, and recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification

Many people confuse the annual refresher with the First Aid at Work Requalification. While the annual refresher helps you practice your skills yearly, it does not renew your qualification.

To renew your certificate, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This course is the only recognised method for extending your First Aid at Work certification for an additional 3 years.

Who Is the Course For?

The 2-day FAW Refresher course in Oldham is intended for designated first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments, such as construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large offices. This course is perfect for those who need to maintain their qualification and remain in compliance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.

On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Oldham

If you have multiple employees who need to renew their FAW qualifications, arranging on-site training at your workplace can be a more convenient option. Our accredited trainer can come to your premises and deliver the complete 2-day requalification course, enabling your team to refresh their skills together.

On-site training offers numerous advantages:

  • Flexible scheduling options to suit your needs
  • Tailored to the specific risks in your workplace
  • Cost-effective for training larger groups
  • Efficient group training in a single session
  • Reduced travel and time away from the workplace

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.
