What is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification) Course?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher course, also known as FAW Requalification, is a comprehensive 2-day programme specifically designed for individuals whose FAW certification is close to expiry. By attending this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Tarbert, you will be able to renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for another three years.
Unlike the initial 3-day FAW course, the refresher focuses on reinforcing key first aid knowledge and skills, allowing participants to revisit vital procedures under the supervision of an experienced trainer. This course ensures that you remain compliant with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
Eligibility and Booking Details
The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is available to individuals who possess a current FAW certificate. To avoid the need to retake the full 3-day course, it is recommended to secure your booking before your certificate expires.
There is a 28-day grace period after your certificate expires. Should your certification remain lapsed for longer than 28 days, re-enrolment in the full FAW course will be required.
On the first day of your training, please bring a copy of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate for verification purposes.
What Will You Review and Practice Throughout the Course?
During the FAW Requalification course, you will go over the entire First Aid at Work syllabus to ensure your skills are current and your qualification remains valid. Over the course of two days, you'll have the chance to refresh and practice vital first aid skills that are essential in any workplace setting.
- Administering adult CPR and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
- Understanding the responsibilities of a first aider and implementing infection control measures
- Responding to emergencies, including heart attacks, strokes, asthma attacks, and diabetic emergencies
- Mastering recovery position techniques and managing seizures
- Managing fractures and injuries to the head, spinal cord, and chest
- Providing first aid for choking and severe bleeding control
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis with the use of auto-injectors
- Assessing casualties and conducting scene surveys
- Treating burns, scalds, shock, and minor injuries
- Caring for eye injuries and suspected poisoning
Assessment and Certification Process
Throughout the First Aid at Work Refresher course, you will be evaluated through a combination of hands-on practical exercises, direct observation by the instructor, and a concise multiple-choice exam. This assessment approach ensures you are confident in applying the refreshed skills to real-world emergency scenarios.
Once you successfully complete the course, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. This certificate is valid for an additional 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 about to expire, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. 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 ideal for individuals working in medium to high-risk sectors who need to renew their First Aid at Work certification. This includes professionals across industries like construction, warehousing, manufacturing, and office environments. The course is specifically designed for first aiders tasked with ensuring workplace safety and meeting the requirements set by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
