What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification) in Southall?
The First Aid at Work Refresher (FAW Requalification) is a 2-day programme designed for individuals whose FAW certification is about to expire. By completing this course in Southall, you will be able to extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for another three years, ensuring you remain compliant with UK health and safety standards.
While the full 3-day FAW course provides an extensive introduction to first aid, the refresher focuses on reinforcing essential skills and knowledge. Participants will have the opportunity to refresh their understanding of critical first aid procedures under the supervision of a qualified instructor. This course is designed to meet the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines for workplace first aiders.
✅ This course is available to those holding a current FAW certificate or those within the 28-day grace period after expiry.
Eligibility and Booking Details for Southall

Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification in Southall
There is often confusion between the annual refresher and the FAW Requalification. The annual refresher is a shorter session designed to help you practise and maintain your first aid skills each year, but it does not extend the validity of your qualification.
If your FAW certificate is approaching its expiry, you will need to complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only programme that officially renews your First Aid at Work certification for an additional three years.
