What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as FAW Requalification, is a focused 2-day training designed for those whose FAW certification is approaching its expiry. By completing this course in Southport, you can renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for another three years, ensuring your skills and certification remain up to date.
While the original 3-day FAW course provides comprehensive training, the refresher is specifically intended to reinforce key first aid knowledge and offer hands-on practice with support from an experienced instructor. This course also ensures that participants meet the required Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
Eligibility and Booking Information
The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course in Southport is available to individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. To avoid the need for a full 3-day FAW course, it is recommended that you secure your place before your current certification expires.
A 28-day grace period is granted following the expiration of your certificate. Should your certification exceed this 28-day period, you will need to register for the full FAW course again.
On the first day of your training, please ensure you bring a copy of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate for verification.
What Will You Refresh and Practise During the Course?
During the 2-day FAW Requalification course in Southport, you will revisit the essential First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your first aid knowledge is current and your qualification remains valid. This course offers you the opportunity to refresh and practise vital skills, making sure you’re prepared for any workplace emergency.
- Administering adult CPR and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
- Mastering recovery position techniques and managing seizures

Assessment and Certification
During the First Aid at Work Refresher course in Southport, your assessment will involve practical exercises, observation by your trainer, and a short multiple-choice exam. These assessments ensure that you are fully equipped to apply the skills you've refreshed in real-life emergency scenarios.
After completing the course successfully, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for three years. This certification is recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), ensuring compliance with UK workplace safety regulations.
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
It’s important to distinguish between the annual refresher and the FAW Requalification. The annual refresher is a brief session designed to help you maintain your first aid skills, but it does not extend your certification.
If your FAW certificate is close to expiring, you’ll need to complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only training that officially renews your First Aid at Work qualification for another three years.
Who Should Take This Course?
The 2-day FAW Refresher course is ideal for those working in medium to high-risk environments and needing to renew their First Aid at Work certification. This includes professionals in sectors like construction, warehousing, manufacturing, and large office environments. The course is designed for first aiders responsible for ensuring workplace safety and complying with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.

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.
