What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?

The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as FAW Requalification, is a 2-day training course for individuals whose FAW certification is close to expiring. Completing the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Stockport will allow you to renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for another three years.

Unlike the original 3-day FAW programme, this refresher course is focused on reinforcing essential skills and giving participants the chance to practice key first aid techniques under the supervision of an experienced trainer. By completing this course, you will also meet Health and Safety Executive (HSE) compliance requirements.

✅ This course is open to individuals who hold a valid FAW certificate or those within the 28-day grace period after their certificate has expired.

Eligibility and Booking Information

The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is available to individuals who hold a current FAW certificate. To avoid the need to retake the full 3-day FAW course, we recommend booking your spot before your certification expires.

A 28-day grace period is granted after your certificate expires. If more than 28 days have passed since your certification lapsed, you will need to enrol in the full FAW course again.

On the first day of the course, please bring a copy of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate for verification purposes.

What Will You Refresh and Practise During the Course?

During the FAW Requalification course in Stockport, you will review the entire First Aid at Work syllabus to ensure your skills are current and your certification remains valid. Over the two days, you’ll have the opportunity to refresh and practise essential first aid techniques needed in any workplace.

  • Understanding the first aider’s role and responsibilities, including infection control measures
  • Carrying out scene surveys and casualty assessments
  • Administering adult CPR and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
  • Managing fractures, head, spinal, and chest injuries
  • Mastering recovery position techniques and handling seizures
  • Responding to medical emergencies such as heart attacks, strokes, asthma attacks, diabetic emergencies, and seizures
  • Providing first aid for choking and controlling heavy bleeding
  • Treating burns, scalds, shock, and other minor injuries
  • Recognising and managing anaphylaxis with auto-injectors
  • Caring for eye injuries and suspected poisoning

Assessment and Certification

During the First Aid at Work Refresher course in Stockport, your assessment will involve a combination of practical exercises, direct observation from your trainer, and a short multiple-choice exam. This approach ensures you are equipped to apply the updated skills confidently in emergency situations.

Once you successfully complete the course, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. This certification is valid for three years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification

The annual refresher and the 2-day FAW Requalification are often confused. The annual refresher is a shorter session designed to help you maintain and enhance your skills each year, but it does not extend the validity of your certificate.

If your FAW certificate is about to expire, you will need to take the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only course that officially extends the validity of your First Aid at Work qualification for another three years.

Who Should Take This Course?

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 sectors such as construction, warehousing, manufacturing, and large office environments. The course is designed for first aiders who are responsible for ensuring workplace safety and meeting Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements.

On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Stockport

If you have a team of employees needing to renew their FAW certifications, organising an on-site training session can be an efficient and convenient option. A qualified trainer will come to your workplace to deliver the full 2-day requalification course, allowing your team to refresh their skills together in a familiar environment.

On-site training offers a range of benefits:

  • Flexible scheduling to suit your team’s availability
  • Convenient group training delivered in one session
  • Tailored training to address your workplace’s specific risks
  • Minimises time away from the office and eliminates travel needs
  • A cost-effective solution for larger groups

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.
