What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work Refresher, also known as FAW Requalification, is a concise 2-day programme designed for those who need to renew their FAW certification. By enrolling in this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Swindon, you can extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years.
Unlike the initial 3-day First Aid at Work course, the refresher focuses on reinforcing key skills and offers an opportunity to practice essential techniques under the supervision of an experienced instructor. Completing the course ensures you remain compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
Eligibility and Booking Information
The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is available to individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. To avoid having to retake the full 3-day FAW course, it is recommended that you secure your spot before your certificate expires.
A 28-day grace period is granted after the expiration of your certificate. If it has been more than 28 days since expiry, you will be required to enrol in the full FAW programme.
On the first day of training, please bring a copy of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate for verification.
What Will You Refresh and Practise During the Course?
Throughout the FAW Requalification course in Swindon, you will revisit the complete First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring that your skills are up-to-date and your qualification stays valid. During the two-day course, you'll have the chance to refresh and practise key first aid skills that are critical in any workplace environment.
- Mastering the recovery position and managing seizures
- Administering CPR to adults and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
- Understanding the role and responsibilities of a first aider, along with infection control procedures
- Assessing casualties and conducting scene surveys
- Responding to emergencies such as heart attacks, strokes, asthma attacks, and diabetic emergencies
- Managing fractures, as well as head, chest, and spinal injuries

Assessment and Certification
During the First Aid at Work Refresher course in Swindon, your assessment will consist of practical exercises, direct observations by the trainer, and a short multiple-choice test. These components ensure you are well-prepared to apply your refreshed skills in actual emergency situations with confidence.
After successfully completing the course, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. This certificate is valid for three years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
There is often confusion between the annual refresher and the FAW Requalification. The annual refresher is a shorter session designed to help you practice and maintain your skills, but it does not extend the validity of your certificate.
If your FAW certificate is approaching its expiry, you will need to complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This course is the only one that formally renews your First Aid at Work certification for another three years.
Who Should Take This Course?
The 2-day FAW Refresher course is ideal for individuals working in medium- to high-risk sectors who need to renew their First Aid at Work certification. This includes professionals in industries such as construction, logistics, manufacturing, and large corporate offices. It is designed for first aiders who are responsible for ensuring workplace safety and complying with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Swindon
If your organisation has multiple employees who need to renew their FAW qualifications, an on-site training session can be a highly effective option.

- ✓ Convenient group training in one session

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.
