What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher — sometimes referred to as the FAW Requalification — is a two-day training course aimed at individuals whose existing FAW certificate is close to expiry. Completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Tottenham allows you to renew your Level 3 certification for another three years and continue meeting workplace safety obligations.
This condensed version of the full three-day course focuses on revising your theoretical knowledge and rebuilding key practical skills through supervised sessions. It ensures that you stay compliant with the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards and remain confident in your ability to respond during workplace emergencies.
✅ You’re eligible to take this course if you currently hold a valid FAW certificate or fall within the short renewal window after expiry (usually up to 28 days).
Eligibility & When to Book
The First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Tottenham is open exclusively to learners who already possess a valid FAW certificate. It’s best to secure your booking before your existing qualification expires to avoid the need to retake the full three-day course from the beginning.
Participants have up to 28 days after their certificate expires to complete this refresher. If your qualification has been expired for longer than this grace period, you’ll be required to complete the full First Aid at Work course again.
Please remember to bring evidence of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate on the first day of training, as this will be checked before the course begins.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
Enrolling in the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Tottenham allows you to revisit the full FAW syllabus, ensuring your knowledge stays current and your certificate remains valid. Over two days of interactive and practical training, you’ll enhance both your confidence and your ability to respond effectively in emergency situations.
- Carrying out scene assessments and performing casualty checks with confidence
- Revisiting the key duties and responsibilities of a first aider, including infection control practices
- Delivering adult CPR and using an automated external defibrillator (AED)
- Providing first aid for choking, shock, and severe bleeding
- Placing casualties in the recovery position and managing seizures safely

Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Tottenham is evaluated through a combination of practical assessments, instructor observations, and a brief multiple-choice quiz. These methods ensure that you can demonstrate the skills and understanding refreshed during your training with confidence and accuracy.
Once you successfully complete the course, you’ll be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. This qualification remains valid for three years and is fully approved by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), confirming your compliance with workplace safety standards.
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
Many people confuse the annual refresher course with the formal First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a short session that helps you keep your practical skills sharp, but it does not extend the validity of your FAW certificate.
If your current certificate is nearing expiry, you’ll need to complete the comprehensive 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only recognised route to officially renew your First Aid at Work qualification for another three-year period.
Who Is the Course For?
The 2-day FAW Refresher in Tottenham is ideal for nominated first aiders in medium to high-risk work settings such as manufacturing units, warehouses, building sites, and large commercial offices. It’s particularly suited for those who need to renew their qualification and maintain full compliance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
