What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification) in Suffolk?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also referred to as FAW Requalification in Suffolk, is a concise 2-day course designed for those whose FAW certification is approaching expiration. By completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Suffolk, you’ll be able to extend your Level 3 FAW certification for an additional three years.
Unlike the comprehensive three-day course, this refresher focuses on refreshing your knowledge and giving you the chance to refine essential first aid skills under the guidance of an experienced assessor. This course ensures you remain fully compliant with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
Eligibility & When to Register
This 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course in Suffolk is exclusively available to individuals who hold a valid FAW certificate. It's recommended to secure your spot before your current certificate expires to avoid the need to complete the full 3-day First Aid at Work programme.
A 28-day grace period applies after your certificate expires. If it has been longer than 28 days since expiry, you will need to retake the full FAW course from the beginning.
To participate in the course, you must bring your current or recently expired FAW certificate with you on the first day of training for verification.
What Skills Will You Refresh and Practice?
By attending the FAW Requalification in Suffolk, you will revisit the complete First Aid at Work syllabus to ensure that your knowledge is current and your certification remains valid. During the two-day course, you'll hone the crucial skills that every workplace first aider must be proficient in.
- Managing fractures, head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Responding to heart attack, stroke, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes
- Treating shock, burns, scalds, and minor injuries
- Understanding first aider responsibilities and infection control
- Recovery position and seizure management
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis with auto-injectors
- Scene surveys and casualty assessment

Assessment & Certification for Suffolk
The assessment for the First Aid at Work Refresher in Suffolk involves practical demonstrations, trainer observation, and a brief multiple-choice quiz. This approach ensures you are well-prepared to confidently implement the skills you’ve updated throughout the course.
Upon successful completion, you will receive an updated Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, which will remain valid for another three years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs. 2-Day FAW Requalification in Suffolk
Many people confuse the annual refresher with the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a brief session designed to help you practice your skills, but it does not extend your certification.
If your certificate is nearing expiration, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only course that will officially renew your First Aid at Work certification for an additional three years.
Who Is This Course Suitable For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is ideal for first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments, such as construction sites, industrial settings, warehouses, and large office spaces. It’s tailored for individuals who need to update their qualifications and ensure they stay compliant with HSE regulations.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Suffolk
If your business has multiple staff members needing to renew their FAW certification, organising on-site training at your workplace may be a more efficient option. An accredited trainer will come to your premises to deliver the full 2-day requalification course, enabling your team to refresh their skills in a collaborative setting.
On-site training offers the following advantages:
- ✓ Cost-effective for larger groups
- ✓ Tailored to your workplace's specific risks
- ✓ Minimises time away from the office

What Our Students Say?
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.
