What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification) in Shrewsbury?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, often referred to as the FAW Requalification, is a 2-day course designed for individuals whose FAW certificate is nearing expiration. By completing this course in Shrewsbury, you will extend your Level 3 FAW certification for another three years.
Unlike the comprehensive three-day programme, this refresher course concentrates on revisiting key first aid concepts and offering hands-on practice under the guidance of an experienced assessor. It also ensures that you remain compliant with the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
Eligibility & When to Book for the First Aid at Work Refresher in Shrewsbury
This 2-day First Aid at Work refresher course is available exclusively to individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. It is recommended to secure your place before your existing qualification expires to prevent the need to complete the full 3-day First Aid at Work course again.
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 be required to retake the full FAW course.
On the first day of the course, you must present proof of your current or recently expired FAW certificate in order to attend the training.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Shrewsbury?

Assessment & Certification for the First Aid at Work Refresher in Shrewsbury
The FAW Refresher course in Shrewsbury is evaluated through a combination of practical assessments, trainer observations, and a brief multiple-choice exam. This approach ensures you are able to confidently demonstrate the refreshed skills in real-life situations.

Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification in Shrewsbury
Many people confuse the annual refresher with the FAW Requalification. The annual refresher is a short course designed to help you practise your first aid skills each year, but it does not renew your certificate.
To renew your First Aid at Work certificate, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only course that officially extends your certification for another three years.
Who Should Attend the FAW Refresher Course in Shrewsbury?
This 2-day course is specifically 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 looking to keep their qualification current and comply with HSE standards.

On-site training provides several advantages:
- ✓ Choose from 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. Peter and his staff provided the group with some valuable insight into the security industry.
