What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work Refresher, also known as the FAW Requalification, is a 2-day course for individuals whose FAW certification is nearing expiration. By attending this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Swansea, you can extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years.
Unlike the full 3-day training programme, this refresher focuses on reinforcing your knowledge and giving you the chance to practice crucial skills, all while being supervised by a certified assessor. This ensures you remain compliant with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
Eligibility & When to Book
This 2-day First Aid at Work requalification course is available exclusively to individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. It is recommended that you reserve your spot before your existing certification expires to prevent the need to complete the full 3-day First Aid at Work programme.
A 28-day grace period is provided after your certificate expires. If your qualification has lapsed beyond this period, you will need to start over with the complete FAW course.
When attending the course, you must present proof of your active or recently expired FAW certificate on the first day of training.
What Will You Refresh/Practice During the Course?
When you take the FAW Requalification in Swansea, you’ll revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your skills and knowledge are current. Throughout this 2-day course, you will have the opportunity to practice key first aid skills required for any workplace environment.
- Understanding the role and responsibilities of a first aider, along with infection prevention measures
- Conducting scene assessments and casualty evaluations
- Adult CPR and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
- Placing someone in the recovery position and managing seizures
- Administering first aid for choking and heavy bleeding
- Managing shock, treating burns, scalds, and handling minor injuries
- Assessing and treating fractures, head injuries, and chest or spinal injuries
- Caring for eye injuries and suspected poisoning
- Recognising anaphylaxis and using auto-injectors to manage it
- Responding to emergencies such as heart attacks, strokes, asthma, epilepsy, and diabetic reactions
Assessment & Certification
The FAW Refresher course in Swansea is assessed through a combination of practical exercises, trainer observations, and a brief multiple-choice examination. This approach ensures you can confidently apply the refreshed skills in real-world scenarios.
Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, which remains valid for another three years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
Many people confuse the annual refresher with the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a brief course designed to help you refresh your skills. While helpful, it does not extend the validity of your certificate.
If your certificate is nearing expiry, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This course is the only one that officially renews your First Aid at Work qualification for another three years.
Who Is the Course For?
The 2-day FAW Refresher in Swansea is intended for designated first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments, such as construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large offices. This course is ideal for individuals looking to maintain their qualification and stay compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Swansea
If you have a group of employees who need to renew their FAW qualification, organising on-site training at your workplace might be the most efficient solution.

There are multiple advantages to opting for on-site training:
- ✓ Convenient scheduling with flexible dates and times

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.
