The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher course, also known as the FAW Requalification, is a two-day programme for individuals whose FAW certification is nearing its expiry. By completing the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Preston, you will extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years.
Unlike the full three-day First Aid at Work course, this refresher focuses on revisiting key knowledge and allows you to rehearse vital skills under the guidance of a qualified assessor. It also ensures you remain compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
This two-day First Aid at Work renewal course is available exclusively to individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. To avoid having to take the full three-day course, we recommend booking your place before your existing qualification expires.
A grace period of 28 days is provided after the expiry date. Should your certificate expire beyond this period, you will be required to enrol in the full FAW course again.
On the first day of your training, make sure to bring along your valid or recently expired FAW certificate as proof of eligibility.
By enrolling in the FAW Requalification course in Preston, you will revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring that your skills and knowledge are current. Over two days, you'll get hands-on practice with the vital first aid techniques every workplace first aider needs.
The FAW Refresher course in Preston is assessed through a combination of practical exercises, instructor evaluation, and a brief multiple-choice test. This assessment ensures you can effectively demonstrate the skills you’ve practised during the training.
Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for three more years and fully accredited by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Many people confuse the annual refresher with the First Aid at Work Requalification course. The yearly refresher is a short training session to help you keep your skills sharp. While beneficial, it does not renew your qualification.
If your certificate is nearing expiry, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This course is the only official way to extend your First Aid at Work qualification for another three years.
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is tailored for designated first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments such as construction sites, warehouses, factories, and large offices. It’s ideal for individuals who need to renew their qualification and maintain compliance with HSE regulations.
If you have multiple employees who need to renew their FAW qualification, arranging an on-site course at your workplace could be a more convenient option. An accredited trainer can deliver the full 2-day requalification course directly at your premises, enabling your team to refresh their skills together in a familiar environment.
On-site training offers a range of advantages:
The Preston training venue is conveniently located in the city centre, making it easy for first aiders to attend the 2-day FAW Refresher course with minimal disruption. The venue is well-connected by public transport, with nearby train and bus stations, and parking is available for those travelling by car.

These nearby towns and districts are all within a 30-minute to an hour’s journey, making Preston an ideal location for businesses and individuals to complete the FAW Requalification course.

Thousands of first aiders and employers trust Hurak for their FAW Requalification. Here’s why our Preston refresher courses are the preferred choice:
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
I have used Hurak Training services to upscale my skills throughout my career and the construction industry and security the team is very supportive under understanding for people from all walks of life they give you personalise advice about the courses and during the courses they will always accommodate for support required throughout your training which is very unique and much appreciated so far I have successfully achieved my level three in first-aid and fire marshals and currently completing a course for CCTV security with this company through their partners the support team are very helpful and supportive and I look forward to completing this course To review this course.
My experience was great. I got detailed explanations of the course i did and it helped me pass my exam first time I will recommend it for other individuals looking to take a course
I needed to renew my security guard licence and do my top up with first aid training and Hurak were very helpful with getting it sorted ASAP. Good customer service and making sure everything went smoothly as possible.
