What Does the First Aid at Work Refresher Involve?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher is a two-day training course created for people who need to update an existing FAW qualification before it expires. Completing the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Sheffield allows you to renew your Level 3 FAW certificate for another three years, ensuring you stay fully qualified for workplace responsibilities.
Rather than starting from scratch as you would with the full three-day programme, this refresher focuses on strengthening your understanding of key procedures and giving you the opportunity to practise hands-on skills with guidance from a qualified instructor. Attending this course also helps you remain aligned with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards for workplace first aid.
Eligibility and Booking Information
The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course in Sheffield is open to learners who already hold a valid FAW certificate and want to renew it before it expires. Booking your refresher early helps you avoid having to repeat the full 3-day qualification.
If your certificate has recently expired, you may still attend the course as long as it falls within the typical 28-day extension period. Certificates that are older than this will require you to complete the full FAW programme again.
To take part in the training, please bring your current or recently expired FAW certificate with you on the first day so our trainers can verify your eligibility.
What Will You Refresh and Practise During the Course?
Throughout the FAW Refresher Course in Sheffield, you will work through the full First Aid at Work syllabus, strengthening your confidence and ensuring your qualification stays valid for another three years. Over the two days, you’ll revisit essential techniques and take part in practical exercises designed to reinforce your first aid skills in real workplace scenarios.
- Carrying out scene surveys and completing initial casualty checks
- Providing adult CPR and operating an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
- Managing choking incidents and controlling severe external bleeding
- Supporting casualties experiencing heart attacks, strokes, asthma episodes, diabetic issues, or seizures
- Understanding the role and responsibilities of a first aider, including infection control procedures
- Using the recovery position confidently and responding to seizure events
- Treating fractures and handling head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Recognising anaphylaxis and administering auto-injectors safely
- Caring for burns, scalds, shock, and minor injuries
- Providing first aid for eye injuries and suspected poisoning
Assessment and Certification
Throughout the First Aid at Work Refresher course in Sheffield, you’ll be assessed through a blend of trainer observations, hands-on activities, and a short written or multiple-choice test. This approach ensures you can confidently apply the skills covered during the training.
Once you successfully complete the course, you will receive an updated Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. Your renewed qualification remains valid for three years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
Some learners confuse the optional annual refresher with the full 2-day FAW Requalification. The annual refresher provides a quick skills top-up each year, but it does not renew or extend your certificate.
If your current FAW certificate is approaching its expiry date, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only recognised route to renew your First Aid at Work qualification for another three-year period.
Who Should Take This Course?
The 2-day FAW Refresher course is suited to those working in environments where accidents or injuries are more likely to occur. This includes roles in construction, warehousing, production facilities, hospitality, and larger offices. It is designed for designated first aiders who must maintain up-to-date skills and comply with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Sheffield
If your organisation has several employees who need to renew their FAW qualification at the same time, arranging on-site training can be a practical and efficient option. A qualified trainer will visit your premises in Sheffield and deliver the full two-day requalification course, allowing your staff to refresh their skills together without leaving the workplace.
Choosing on-site training provides a number of useful benefits:
- ✓ Reduces travel requirements and keeps your team on site
- ✓ Lets you train multiple staff members in one streamlined session
- ✓ Offers scheduling flexibility to fit around operational needs
- ✓ Allows the trainer to tailor examples and discussions to your workplace risks
- ✓ A cost-effective choice for organisations with larger teams

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.
