What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification) Course in Southend-on-Sea?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as FAW Requalification, is a 2-day programme specifically designed for those whose FAW certification is close to expiring. By attending this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Southend-on-Sea, participants can renew their Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years.
Unlike the initial 3-day FAW course, this refresher is focused on reinforcing critical first aid knowledge and providing a practical opportunity to refine essential skills under the supervision of a certified trainer. Completing the course will also ensure you remain compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Eligibility and Booking Details for the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Southend-on-Sea
The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is available to individuals who currently possess a valid FAW certificate. To avoid the need to complete the full 3-day FAW programme, it is recommended that you book your place before your certification expires.
A 28-day grace period is offered after your certification expires. Should your certification lapse beyond this 28-day window, you will be required to re-register for the complete FAW course.
On the first day of the course, please bring a copy of your current or recently expired FAW certificate for verification.

Assessment and Certification for the Southend-on-Sea Course
During the First Aid at Work Refresher course in Southend-on-Sea, you will undergo assessment through a combination of practical activities, trainer observations, and a short multiple-choice exam.

Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. This certificate remains valid for three years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification in Southend-on-Sea
It’s important to distinguish between the annual refresher and the FAW Requalification. The annual refresher is a shorter session designed to help you maintain your skills, but it does not extend the validity of your certification.
If your FAW certificate is approaching its expiration date, you will need to take the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This course is the only option that officially renews your First Aid at Work qualification for an additional three years.
Who Should Attend the FAW Refresher Course in Southend-on-Sea?
The 2-day FAW Refresher course is ideal for individuals working in medium to high-risk industries who need to renew their First Aid at Work certification. This includes professionals in fields such as construction, warehousing, manufacturing, and large office environments. The course is designed for first aiders who play a key role in ensuring workplace safety and meeting Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements.
