What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher — often referred to as the FAW Requalification — is a two-day training programme designed for individuals whose FAW certificate is nearing expiry. Completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Truro allows you to extend your Level 3 FAW certification for another three years and continue meeting workplace safety standards.
This course condenses the content of the full three-day FAW programme into focused sessions aimed at refreshing your practical skills and theoretical understanding. With guidance from a qualified assessor, you’ll revise key life-saving techniques and remain fully aligned with current Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Eligibility & When to Book
The First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Truro is open to anyone who currently holds a valid FAW certificate and needs to renew it before expiry. To avoid the need to retake the full three-day First Aid at Work course, it’s recommended to book your training well in advance of your renewal date.
You have up to 28 days after your certificate expires to complete this refresher. If it has been expired beyond that period, you’ll need to re-enrol on the full First Aid at Work course to regain your qualification.
All participants must present proof of their existing or recently expired FAW certificate on the first day of the course as verification of eligibility.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
During the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Truro, you’ll rebuild your confidence and update your understanding of workplace first aid. Over two interactive days, the course focuses on refreshing the core knowledge and practical techniques needed to handle medical emergencies safely and effectively. Each session combines demonstration, discussion, and hands-on practice to help you stay sharp and fully compliant with HSE standards.
- Conducting a quick scene survey to identify hazards before providing first aid
- Performing CPR on adults and practising the correct use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
- Reinforcing safe infection control measures and understanding a first aider’s responsibilities
- Applying the recovery position and dealing confidently with unresponsive casualties
- Providing immediate care for choking, heavy bleeding, and shock
- Treating burns, scalds, cuts, and other minor workplace injuries
- Managing fractures and injuries to the head, spine, or chest with appropriate support
- Recognising severe allergic reactions and using auto-injectors in emergencies
- Giving treatment for eye injuries or suspected poisoning incidents
- Identifying early signs and providing aid during asthma attacks, heart attacks, diabetic episodes, strokes, and seizures
Assessment & Certification
Throughout the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Truro, your progress will be evaluated through practical activities, observation by the instructor, and a short written assessment. These elements are designed to confirm that you can confidently apply first aid techniques and respond effectively in real-world situations.
After successfully completing the course, you’ll receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. This qualification is valid for another three years and is fully approved by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), confirming your continued compliance with workplace safety regulations.
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
The annual refresher and the full First Aid at Work Requalification often get confused, but they serve different purposes. The annual refresher is a brief skills update designed to help you maintain confidence in basic first aid procedures. However, it doesn’t extend the validity of your FAW certificate.
If your certificate is close to expiry, you’ll need to complete the comprehensive two-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only recognised training that renews your certification for another three years and ensures you remain qualified to provide first aid in the workplace.
Who Is the Course For?
The two-day FAW Refresher Course in Truro is ideal for individuals who act as designated first aiders in medium- to high-risk environments such as warehouses, construction sites, production facilities, and large corporate offices.

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.
