What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher course, or FAW Requalification, is a two-day programme designed for individuals whose FAW certification is about to expire. By completing this First Aid at Work Refresher in Omagh, you’ll be able to extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years.
Unlike the comprehensive three-day course, the refresher focuses on reinforcing key knowledge and providing hands-on practice of vital skills, all under the guidance of a qualified assessor. This ensures you remain fully compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
Eligibility & When to Book
The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is available exclusively to individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. It’s advisable to secure your booking before your certificate’s expiration to avoid the need to retake the full three-day FAW course.
A 28-day grace period is allowed after the certificate expires. If your qualification has expired for longer than this, you will be required to complete the full FAW course again.
On the first day of training, you must present your current FAW certificate or proof that it has recently expired.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
When you join the FAW Requalification course in Omagh, you will revisit the full First Aid at Work curriculum, ensuring your skills are current and your qualification remains valid. Over the two-day course, you'll have the opportunity to refresh and practise the key first aid skills needed in any workplace setting.
- Assessment of casualties and conducting scene surveys
- Adult CPR and the safe use of an AED
- Managing choking, severe bleeding, and shock
- Administering first aid for burns, scalds, and minor injuries
- Understanding the first aider’s responsibilities and infection control measures
- Handling fractures, head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Providing care for eye injuries and suspected poisoning
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis, including the use of auto-injectors
- Responding effectively to heart attacks, strokes, asthma attacks, epilepsy, and diabetes
- Recovery position and seizure management techniques
Assessment & Certification
The FAW Refresher course in Omagh is assessed through a combination of practical exercises, trainer observations, and a brief multiple-choice exam. This comprehensive approach ensures that you are confident in applying the refreshed skills effectively in real-life situations.
Upon successful completion, you’ll be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for three more 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 with the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a brief course that helps you maintain your skills but does not extend your certificate.
If your certificate is nearing expiry, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only programme that officially renews your qualification for another three years.
Who Is the Course For?
The 2-day FAW Refresher course is tailored for designated first aiders in workplaces with moderate to high-risk environments, including construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large office spaces. It is aimed at those who need to renew their qualification and ensure compliance with HSE standards.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Omagh
If your organisation has multiple staff members who need to renew their FAW qualification, booking on-site training at your workplace can be a more efficient option. An accredited trainer will conduct the full 2-day requalification course at your location, enabling your team to refresh their skills together without the need for travel.
On-site training offers several advantages:
- ✓ Flexible scheduling options
- ✓ Customised to address your workplace’s specific risks
- ✓ Cost-effective for larger teams
- ✓ Training delivered in a single group session
- ✓ Reduces travel time and minimises disruption to your operations

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.
