What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification) Course in Penzance?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, or FAW Requalification, is a 2-day course designed for individuals whose FAW certification is nearing expiration. By attending this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Penzance, you will be able to extend your Level 3 FAW certification for another three years.
Unlike the comprehensive three-day course, this refresher is tailored to update your knowledge and provide hands-on practice of vital skills, all while supervised by an assessor. The course ensures your continued compliance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Eligibility & When to Book for the Penzance Course
This 2-day First Aid at Work renewal course is available exclusively for individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. It is recommended that you secure your spot before your existing certification expires to avoid having to retake the full 3-day First Aid at Work course.
You have a 28-day grace period after the expiry of your certificate. Should your certification lapse beyond this period, you will be required to complete the full FAW course again.
On the first day of training, you must present proof of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate to participate in the course.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Penzance Course?
During the FAW Requalification course in Penzance, you will revisit the full First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your knowledge is up to date and that your certification remains valid. Throughout this 2-day course, you will refresh and practise the essential first aid skills needed in any workplace setting.
- Managing fractures, head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Recognising and responding to heart attacks, strokes, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes
- Understanding first aider responsibilities and infection control
- Adult CPR and AED practice

Assessment & Certification for the Penzance Course
The assessment for the First Aid at Work Refresher course in Penzance consists of practical demonstrations, trainer evaluations, and a brief multiple-choice test. This approach ensures that you can confidently apply the refreshed skills in real-world scenarios.
Upon successful completion, you will receive an updated Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for an additional three years, and fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
2-Day FAW Requalification vs Annual Refresher
Many people confuse the annual refresher course with the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a brief course that helps you keep your skills sharp throughout the year, but it does not renew your qualification.
If your certificate is nearing expiration, you will need to complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only course that formally extends your First Aid at Work certification for another three years.
Who Should Attend the Penzance Course?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is specifically designed for designated first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments such as construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large office settings. It is intended for individuals who need to update their qualifications to remain compliant with HSE regulations.

- ✓ Flexible scheduling for your team

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.
