What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher Course (Requalification) in Salisbury?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, or FAW Requalification, is a 2-day course designed for individuals whose FAW certification is nearing its expiration. By completing the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Salisbury, you’ll extend your Level 3 FAW certification for an additional three years.
Unlike the comprehensive three-day course, this refresher programme focuses on reinforcing key skills and offering you the chance to refresh your abilities with hands-on practice, all under the guidance of an experienced assessor. This ensures your compliance with the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
✅ You are eligible for this course if your FAW certificate is still valid or if it has recently expired (usually within 28 days).
Eligibility & When to Book for Salisbury
The 2-day First Aid at Work renewal course is designed for individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. To ensure you don’t need to retake the full 3-day course, it’s recommended to book your place before your existing certification expires.
You are allowed a 28-day grace period after your certificate has expired. If more than 28 days have passed, you will be required to start over with the full FAW course.
On the first day of training, please bring along proof of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate to attend the course.

Annual Refresher vs. the 2-Day FAW Requalification Course
Many people confuse the annual refresher with the FAW Requalification course. The annual refresher is a shorter course designed to help you practise your first aid skills each year. While beneficial, it does not extend your certificate.
If your certificate is close to expiring, the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course is the only course that renews your First Aid at Work qualification for another three-year period.
Who Is the Salisbury Course For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is intended for designated first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments, such as construction sites, manufacturing plants, warehouses, and large corporate offices. It is ideal for those needing to renew their certification and stay compliant with HSE regulations.

If your team needs to renew their FAW qualification, arranging an on-site training session at your workplace could be a more convenient option.

- ✓ Convenient scheduling with flexible dates and times
