First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Tamworth

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

The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as FAW Requalification in Tamworth, is a comprehensive 2-day course designed for those whose FAW certification is about to expire. By completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Tamworth, you can renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for another three years.

Unlike the full 3-day FAW course, the refresher focuses on reinforcing essential first aid knowledge and offers practical opportunities to refine life-saving skills under the supervision of an experienced trainer. This course will also ensure that you meet the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards for workplace safety.

Eligibility and Booking Information

The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course in Tamworth is available to individuals who hold a current FAW certificate. To avoid the need for a full 3-day FAW course, it's recommended to secure your place before your certification expires.

After your certificate expires, a 28-day grace period is available. If your certificate has lapsed beyond this period, you'll need to register for the full FAW course once again.

On the first day of the course, please bring a copy of your current or recently expired FAW certificate for verification purposes.

What Will You Refresh and Practise During the Course?

Throughout the FAW Requalification course, you'll review the entire First Aid at Work syllabus to ensure your skills are up-to-date, keeping your qualification valid. Over the span of two days, you’ll refresh and practise critical first aid techniques that are essential for any workplace environment.

• Reviewing the role and responsibilities of a first aider and infection control procedures
• Conducting scene assessments and casualty evaluations
• Administering adult CPR and operating an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
• Managing fractures, head injuries, spinal injuries, and chest trauma
• Practising recovery position techniques and seizure management
• Responding to emergencies such as heart attacks, strokes, asthma attacks, diabetic crises, and seizures
• Providing first aid for choking and controlling significant bleeding
• Addressing burns, scalds, shock, and minor injuries
• Recognising and treating anaphylaxis with auto-injectors
• Caring for eye injuries and dealing with suspected poisoning

Assessment and Certification

During the First Aid at Work Refresher course, your progress will be evaluated through practical demonstrations, direct observation by the instructor, and a concise multiple-choice test. This assessment ensures that you're equipped to confidently apply the refreshed skills in real-world emergencies.

Once you successfully complete the course, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. This qualification is valid for three years and is fully accredited by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification

The annual refresher and the FAW Requalification course are often confused. The annual refresher is a brief session designed to help you practice and maintain your skills throughout the year, but it does not extend the validity of your certification.

If your FAW certificate is close to expiring, the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course is required. This is the only course that officially renews your First Aid at Work qualification for an additional three years.

Who Should Take This Course?

The 2-day FAW Refresher course is designed for individuals working in environments with moderate to high health and safety risks. This course is ideal for professionals in industries like construction, warehousing, manufacturing, and office settings. It is aimed at first aiders who are responsible for ensuring workplace safety and complying with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
