What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as the FAW Requalification, is a concise two-day course aimed at individuals whose FAW certification is nearing its expiration date. Completing the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Scunthorpe allows you to extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years.
While the full three-day FAW course provides comprehensive training, the refresher is designed to reinforce vital skills and knowledge, offering participants a chance to refresh their practical abilities under expert supervision. This course ensures ongoing compliance with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Eligibility and Booking Information
The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is open to individuals who hold a valid FAW certificate. To prevent the need for retaking the full 3-day FAW course, it's advisable to secure your spot before your current certification expires.
A 28-day grace period is available after the expiration of your certificate. Should your certification lapse beyond this window, you will be required to re-enrol in the full FAW course.
On the first day of the course, please ensure you bring a copy of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate for confirmation.
What Will You Refresh and Practise During the Course?
Throughout the two-day FAW Requalification course in Scunthorpe, you will revisit the complete First Aid at Work curriculum, ensuring your knowledge is up to date and your certification stays valid. This course provides a hands-on opportunity to refresh and practice essential first aid skills that are critical in any workplace environment.
- Understanding the role of a first aider and key infection control procedures
- Assessing the scene and performing casualty evaluations
- Administering CPR to adults and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
- Managing injuries such as fractures, head, chest, and spinal injuries
- Techniques for the recovery position and handling seizures
- Responding to medical emergencies like heart attacks, strokes, asthma attacks, and diabetic issues

Assessment and Certification
During the First Aid at Work Refresher course in Scunthorpe, your evaluation will consist of a mix of practical tasks, trainer observations, and a short multiple-choice exam. This comprehensive assessment ensures that you are confident and equipped to apply the refreshed first aid skills in practical scenarios.
Upon successful completion, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. This certificate is valid for three years and is officially recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
Many people confuse the annual refresher course with the FAW Requalification. The annual refresher is a shorter session designed to help you refresh and maintain your first aid skills on an ongoing basis. While this is valuable, it does not extend the validity of your certification.
If your FAW certificate is approaching its expiry date, you must take the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only course that officially renews your First Aid at Work certification for another three years.
Who Should Take This Course?
The 2-day FAW Refresher course is ideal for individuals in medium to high-risk work environments who need to renew their First Aid at Work certification. This includes professionals working in sectors such as construction, warehousing, factories, and large office environments. The course is particularly suited for first aiders responsible for ensuring safety in the workplace and maintaining compliance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.

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.
