What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification) in Rhyl?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as the FAW Requalification, is a 2-day course for individuals whose FAW certificate is about to expire. By completing this refresher course in Rhyl, you can extend your Level 3 FAW certification for another three years.
Unlike the comprehensive three-day course, the refresher focuses on revisiting and enhancing key first aid skills, with opportunities to practice under the supervision of an accredited assessor. This ensures your knowledge remains up to date while meeting Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
✅ This course is available to those who still have a valid FAW certificate or those within the 28-day grace period after expiry.
Eligibility & When to Book for Rhyl
This 2-day First Aid at Work requalification course is available to individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. It's recommended to secure your booking before your qualification expires to avoid the need to retake the full 3-day First Aid at Work course.
A 28-day grace period is provided after your certificate expires. However, if your certificate has expired for longer than this period, you will be required to start fresh with the full FAW course.
To participate in the course, you must present proof of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate on the first day of training.
What Will You Practise & Refresh During the Course?
During the FAW Requalification course in Rhyl, you’ll revisit the full First Aid at Work syllabus to ensure your skills are current and your qualification remains valid. Over two days, you will rehearse essential first aid techniques every workplace first aider needs to know.
- Responsibilities of a first aider and infection control
- Assessing the scene and evaluating casualties
- Practising adult CPR and using an AED

Assessment & Certification for Rhyl
The First Aid at Work Refresher course in Rhyl is assessed through a combination of practical demonstrations, trainer observation, and a brief multiple-choice assessment. This process ensures that you are confident in applying the refreshed skills from the course.
Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for another three years, and recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs. 2-Day FAW Requalification
It's easy to confuse the annual refresher course with the FAW Requalification. The annual refresher is a short session designed to help you practice key skills, but it doesn't renew your certification.
If your certification is approaching expiry, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This course is the only way to formally extend your First Aid at Work qualification for another three years.
Who Should Take This Course?
The 2-day FAW Refresher course is tailored for designated first aiders in medium to high-risk environments such as construction sites, warehouses, factories, and large office spaces. It’s ideal for those who need to ensure their qualifications remain up to date and in compliance with HSE guidelines.

- ✓ Convenient scheduling with flexible dates and times
