What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as the FAW Requalification, is a 2-day training programme designed for individuals whose FAW certificate is approaching its expiration. Upon completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Ramsgate, you'll extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for another three years.
In contrast to the full three-day course, the refresher focuses on revisiting key concepts and offering hands-on practice to enhance essential first aid skills. This course also ensures you remain compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines.
Eligibility & When to Book
This 2-day First Aid at Work renewal course is exclusively available to individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. To avoid the need to complete the full 3-day First Aid at Work course, we recommend booking your spot before your certification expires.
A 28-day grace period is allowed after the certificate expires. Should your certificate have been expired for more than this period, you will be required to take the complete FAW course from the beginning.
Make sure to bring proof of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate with you on the first day of the training.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
When you join the FAW Requalification course in Ramsgate, you will revisit the entire First Aid at Work curriculum, ensuring that your skills are refreshed and your certificate remains valid. Over the span of two days, you’ll engage in practical exercises to maintain the essential first aid skills needed in any workplace emergency.
- Administering CPR and using an AED effectively
- Understanding the roles and responsibilities of a first aider, including infection control
- Assessing a casualty and conducting scene surveys
- Managing choking incidents and controlling severe bleeding
- Placing individuals in the recovery position and handling seizures
- Providing first aid for burns, scalds, shock, and minor injuries
- Addressing fractures, head, chest, and spinal injuries
- Managing eye injuries and suspected poisoning cases
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis with an auto-injector
- Responding to medical emergencies such as heart attack, stroke, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes
Assessment & Certification
The FAW Refresher course in Ramsgate is evaluated through a combination of practical demonstrations, instructor observation, and a brief multiple-choice exam. This approach ensures that you are fully capable of applying the refreshed skills confidently in real-life situations.
Upon successfully completing the course, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, which is valid for another three years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
People often confuse the annual refresher with the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a brief session designed to help you keep your skills sharp throughout the year, but it does not renew your certification.
To renew your certification, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only programme that officially extends your First Aid at Work qualification for another three years.
Who Is the Course For?
The 2-day FAW Refresher course is intended for designated first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments, including construction sites, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and large office spaces. This course is perfect for individuals who need to renew their qualification and stay compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Ramsgate
If you have multiple staff members who need to renew their FAW qualification, arranging on-site training at your workplace can be a more practical solution. An accredited trainer can conduct the full 2-day requalification course at your location, allowing your team to refresh their skills together in a familiar environment.
On-site training offers a variety of advantages:
- ✓ Choose from a range of flexible dates and times
- ✓ Tailored to the specific risks of your workplace
- ✓ More cost-effective for larger teams
- ✓ Train your whole team in a single session
- ✓ Save time and reduce travel needs

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.
