What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification) in Peterborough?
The First Aid at Work Refresher, or FAW Requalification, is a two-day course designed for individuals whose FAW certification is approaching expiration. By completing this course in Peterborough, you can extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years.
Unlike the full three-day First Aid at Work course, the refresher focuses on refreshing your knowledge and provides the opportunity to practice critical skills with the support of an experienced assessor. This course ensures you remain compliant with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Eligibility & When to Book for the in Peterborough
This 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is exclusively available to individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. It’s recommended that you secure your booking before your qualification expires to prevent the need to retake the full 3-day First Aid at Work course.
If your certificate has expired, you have a 28-day grace period to attend this course. After this period, you will be required to complete the full FAW course to regain your certification.
On the first day of training, you must present proof of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate to attend the course.

During the FAW Refresher course in Peterborough, you will revisit the full First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your skills are current and your qualification remains valid. Over the two days, you’ll have the chance to practice essential first aid skills needed for the workplace.

Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
It’s important to distinguish between the annual refresher and the FAW Requalification course. The yearly refresher is a brief course designed to help you practise your first-aid skills. While beneficial, it does not extend your qualification.
If your certificate is nearing expiration, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification). This course is the official way to renew your First Aid at Work qualification for another three years.
Who Should Take This Course?
This 2-day FAW Refresher is tailored for appointed first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments, including construction sites, manufacturing plants, warehouses, and large office spaces. It is intended for those who need to update their qualification and ensure ongoing compliance with HSE standards.

On-site training provides several advantages:

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.
