First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Stratford-upon-Avon

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

The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as the FAW Requalification in Stratford-upon-Avon, is a 2-day training course for individuals whose FAW certification is nearing expiration. By completing this essential First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Stratford-upon-Avon, you can extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for another three years.

Unlike the full 3-day course, this refresher programme focuses on renewing your knowledge and gives you the chance to practise critical skills under the guidance of a qualified assessor. It also ensures you remain compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.

Eligibility & When to Book

This 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is available to individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. It’s essential to book your place before your existing qualification expires to avoid having to retake the full 3-day First Aid at Work course.

A 28-day grace period is allowed after the certificate expires. However, if your certification has lapsed beyond this period, you will need to retake the full FAW course.

On the first day of training, you must present proof of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate to attend the course.

What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?

By attending the FAW Requalification course in Stratford-upon-Avon, you will revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your knowledge is current and your certificate remains valid. Over the two-day course, you'll practice the essential skills required of a first aider in any workplace.

• First aid for choking and severe bleeding
• Understanding first aider responsibilities and infection control
• Managing fractures, head, spinal, and chest injuries
• Recovery position and seizure management
• Recognising and treating anaphylaxis with auto-injectors
• Responding to heart attack, stroke, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes
• Scene surveys and casualty assessment
• Adult CPR and AED practice
• Care for eye injuries and suspected poisoning
• Treating shock, burns, scalds, and minor injuries

Assessment & Certification

The First Aid at Work Refresher course in Stratford-upon-Avon is assessed through a combination of practical demonstrations, trainer evaluations, and a brief multiple-choice exam. This method ensures you can effectively apply the skills you've refreshed during the course.

Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for another three years and fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification

It’s easy to confuse the annual refresher with the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a brief course designed to help you maintain your skills. While it’s beneficial, it does not renew your qualification.

If your certificate is nearing expiry, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only course that formally extends your First Aid at Work qualification for an additional three years.

Who Is the Course For?

This 2-day FAW Refresher course is tailored for designated first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments, such as manufacturing plants, construction sites, warehouses, and large office spaces. It's ideal for those who need to keep their certification up to date and remain compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
