What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also referred to as the FAW Requalification, is a focused two-day course for individuals whose FAW certificate is approaching its expiration. By completing the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Stockton-on-Tees, you can extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years.
Unlike the comprehensive three-day course, this refresher is specifically designed to update your theoretical knowledge and refine your practical skills, with direct support from qualified assessors. This ensures you continue to meet the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines and stay fully compliant with workplace safety standards.
Eligibility & When to Book
To enrol in the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Stockton-on-Tees, you must already hold a valid First Aid at Work (FAW) certificate. It's recommended to book your spot before your current qualification expires, as waiting until after expiry will require you to retake the full 3-day FAW course.
If your certificate has recently expired, you can still join this 2-day requalification course within a 28-day grace period. After this period, you’ll be required to complete the full First Aid at Work course again to regain your certification.
On the first day of training, please ensure you bring proof of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate to verify your eligibility for the course.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
The First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Stockton-on-Tees is designed to bring you up to speed with the full FAW syllabus, ensuring that you maintain valid certification and are confident in your first aid skills. Over the two days, you’ll engage in practical, hands-on exercises, revisiting essential life-saving techniques in the workplace.
- Revisiting key first aider responsibilities and maintaining up-to-date infection control protocols
- Effectively assessing an emergency scene and performing casualty evaluations
- Practising adult CPR and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) in real-life situations
- Managing choking incidents and severe bleeding with confidence
- Utilising the recovery position and treating seizures safely
- Providing first aid for burns, scalds, and common soft-tissue injuries
- Treating fractures, head, spinal, and chest injuries with quick and effective interventions
- Recognising and responding to anaphylaxis with auto-injectors and other emergency medications
- Managing eye injuries and suspected poisoning with appropriate care
- Responding to medical emergencies such as heart attack, stroke, asthma, and diabetic episodes
Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Stockton-on-Tees is assessed through a mix of practical demonstrations, trainer-led observations, and a brief multiple-choice quiz. These assessments are designed to ensure that you can confidently apply the refreshed skills during a workplace emergency.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. This qualification is valid for another three years and fully meets Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
Many people mistakenly confuse the short annual refresher with the full 2-day FAW Requalification course. The annual refresher is a quick skill update designed to help first aiders maintain their confidence and competence year-round. However, it does not extend or renew your qualification.
If your certificate is close to expiring, the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) is the only course that will renew your certification for another three years. This programme ensures that you remain compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements and fully certified to manage emergencies in your workplace.
Who Is the Course For?

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.
