The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, or FAW Requalification in Sunderland, is a 2-day course designed for individuals whose FAW certification is nearing expiry. By completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Sunderland, you can extend your Level 3 FAW certification for an additional three years.
In contrast to the full three-day course, this refresher is aimed at updating your knowledge and giving you the chance to refine key first aid skills under guidance from a qualified assessor. It also ensures you remain compliant with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements.
This 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course in Sunderland is intended for individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. To avoid the need to complete the full 3-day First Aid at Work programme, we recommend booking your spot before your existing qualification expires.
A 28-day grace period is provided after your certificate expires. If your certification has lapsed beyond this window, you'll be required to take the complete FAW course again.
When attending, please ensure you bring a copy of your current or recently expired FAW certificate for verification on the first day of the course.
By enrolling in the FAW Refresher course in Sunderland, you'll revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus to ensure your knowledge is up-to-date and your certification remains valid. Over the two-day training, you’ll practise essential first aid skills necessary for any workplace first aider.
The First Aid at Work Refresher course in Sunderland is evaluated through a combination of practical exercises, trainer assessments, and a brief multiple-choice exam. This approach ensures that you’re able to apply the skills you've practised with confidence in real-life situations.
Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, which is valid for an additional three years and fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
It's important to distinguish between the annual refresher and the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a brief course designed to help you maintain your skills throughout the year. While valuable, it does not renew your certificate.
If your certification is nearing expiry, you will need to take the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only recognised course that officially renews your First Aid at Work qualification for a full three-year period.
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is ideal for designated first aiders working in medium to high-risk environments, such as construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large office spaces. It’s specifically designed for individuals who need to keep their first aid qualification current and remain in compliance with HSE guidelines.
If you have a group of employees who need to renew their FAW certification, it may be more convenient to organise on-site training directly at your workplace. A qualified trainer can conduct the full 2-day requalification course at your premises, allowing your team to refresh their skills together in a familiar environment.
There are several advantages to arranging on-site training:
The Sunderland training venue is centrally located, making it convenient for first aiders needing to renew their FAW certificate to attend the 2-day course with minimal disruption. The venue is easily accessible by public transport, with close proximity to major train and bus connections, and parking is available for those who prefer to drive.
Learners frequently join us not only from Sunderland but also from neighbouring areas like South Shields, Washington, Seaham, Houghton-le-Spring, Chester-le-Street, and East Boldon. Many employers in these areas choose Sunderland as a practical location for their staff to complete the FAW Requalification course.
If you’re interested in other types of training, we also offer a variety of first aid courses in Sunderland, including Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) for 1-day certification and Paediatric First Aid for those working with children. You can explore our full range of courses on the First Aid Courses in Sunderland page.

Thousands of first aiders and businesses rely on Hurak for their FAW Requalification. Here’s why our Sunderland refresher courses stand out:
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.
I just completed the First Aid at Work refresher course and I'm glad it went efficiently and in a friendly way. Thanks
I have used Hurak Training services to upscale my skills throughout my career and the construction industry and security the team is very supportive under understanding for people from all walks of life they give you personalise advice about the courses and during the courses they will always accommodate for support required throughout your training which is very unique and much appreciated so far I have successfully achieved my level three in first-aid and fire marshals and currently completing a course for CCTV security with this company through their partners the support team are very helpful and supportive and I look forward to completing this course To review this course.
My experience was great. I got detailed explanations of the course i did and it helped me pass my exam first time I will recommend it for other individuals looking to take a course
I needed to renew my security guard licence and do my top up with first aid training and Hurak were very helpful with getting it sorted ASAP. Good customer service and making sure everything went smoothly as possible.
