What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher course, also referred to as FAW Requalification, is a 2-day training program designed for individuals whose FAW certification is approaching its expiry. Completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Scarborough will allow you to renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for another three years.
This refresher course is shorter than the full three-day training, focusing on updating your knowledge and offering hands-on practice of key skills with the guidance of a qualified assessor. It ensures you remain fully compliant with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Eligibility & When to Book
This 2-day First Aid at Work refresher course is available exclusively to individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. It is advisable to secure your booking before your qualification expires to prevent the need for completing the full 3-day First Aid at Work course.
A 28-day grace period is provided after the expiration of your certificate. If your certificate has been expired for longer than this period, you will need to enrol in the full FAW course once again.
To participate in the course, please ensure that you bring your valid or recently expired FAW certificate with you on the first day of training.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
When you attend the FAW Requalification in Scarborough, you’ll revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus to ensure your skills are refreshed, your knowledge is up to date, and your certification stays valid. Over the two days, you’ll practise critical skills that are essential for any workplace first aider.
- First aid for choking and severe bleeding
- Managing fractures, head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Understanding first aider responsibilities and infection control
- Scene surveys and casualty assessment
- Adult CPR and AED practice
- Recovery position and seizure management
- Treating shock, burns, scalds, and minor injuries
- Care for eye injuries and suspected poisoning
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis with auto-injectors
- Responding to heart attack, stroke, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes
Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher course in Scarborough is assessed through a combination of practical demonstrations, trainer observations, and a brief multiple-choice exam. This ensures that you are confident in applying the refreshed skills you’ve learned throughout the course.
Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for an additional three years, and fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
There is often confusion between the annual refresher course and the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a brief course to help you practice your first aid skills each year; however, it does not renew your certificate.
To renew your certificate, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This course is the only one that formally extends your First Aid at Work qualification for three years.
Who Is the Course For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher is intended for designated first aiders working in medium to high-risk environments such as construction sites, manufacturing plants, warehouses, and large office spaces. It’s ideal for those needing to update their qualification and remain compliant with HSE standards.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Scarborough
If multiple staff members need to renew their FAW certification, arranging on-site training at your workplace may be more convenient. An accredited trainer can deliver the full 2-day requalification course at your location, allowing your team to refresh their skills together.

- ✓ Training tailored to your workplace’s specific risks
- ✓ Convenient scheduling with flexible dates and times

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.
