What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, or FAW Requalification, is a 2-day course designed for those whose FAW certification is close to expiring. Completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Solihull allows you to extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years, ensuring you remain fully qualified to handle workplace emergencies.
Unlike the full 3-day FAW programme, the refresher course focuses on reinforcing core knowledge and provides participants with hands-on practice to refresh their first aid skills under the supervision of a qualified trainer. Successfully completing this course ensures you remain compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations and continue to meet workplace health and safety standards.
Eligibility and Booking Information
The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course in Solihull is open to individuals who hold a current FAW certificate. To avoid the need for retaking the full 3-day FAW course, it’s recommended to book your refresher course before your certificate expires.
If your certificate has expired, you will be given a 28-day grace period to complete the refresher course. If the certificate is expired for more than 28 days, you will need to re-enrol in the full FAW course to renew your qualification.
On the first day of your training, please bring a copy of your valid or expired FAW certificate for verification. This ensures you meet the eligibility criteria for the course.
What Will You Refresh and Practise During the Course?
Throughout the FAW Requalification course in Solihull, you’ll review and refresh your knowledge of the entire First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your skills are up to date and your qualification remains valid. Over the course of two days, you will have ample opportunities to practise essential first aid techniques needed for any workplace setting.
- Revisiting the role and responsibilities of a first aider, including infection control measures
- Assessing casualties and conducting effective scene surveys
- Performing adult CPR and confidently using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
- Managing fractures and injuries to the head, spine, and chest
- Perfecting recovery position techniques and handling seizure incidents
- Responding to medical emergencies like heart attacks, strokes, asthma attacks, and diabetic crises
- Handling choking emergencies and effectively controlling severe bleeding
- Treating burns, scalds, shock, and other minor injuries
- Recognising anaphylaxis and using auto-injectors to provide first aid

Assessment and Certification
Throughout the First Aid at Work Refresher course in Solihull, your skills will be assessed through a combination of practical exercises, trainer observations, and a short multiple-choice test. This approach ensures that you can confidently apply the skills you’ve refreshed in real-life emergency situations.
Upon successful completion, you’ll receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, which is valid for three years. The certificate is fully accredited and recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), ensuring compliance with workplace health and safety regulations.
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
There is often confusion between the annual refresher and the FAW Requalification. The annual refresher is a shorter session designed to help you maintain and refresh your skills each year. However, it does not extend the validity of your First Aid at Work certification.
If your FAW certificate is close to expiring, you will need to complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only course that formally renews your First Aid at Work qualification, extending it for another three years.

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.
