The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, or FAW Requalification, is a 2-day course designed for individuals whose FAW certification is about to expire. This course, offered in Washington, allows you to extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years upon successful completion.
Unlike the comprehensive three-day course, the refresher concentrates on revising your existing knowledge and gives you the chance to refine essential first aid skills under the guidance of a qualified assessor. It ensures you remain fully compliant with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
This 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is exclusively for individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. It is recommended to book your spot before your certificate expires to avoid the need to retake the full 3-day First Aid at Work course.
A 28-day grace period is provided after the expiry date. If your certificate has expired for longer than this period, you will be required to complete the full FAW course from the beginning.
By attending the FAW Refresher in Washington, you will revisit the entire First Aid at Work curriculum, ensuring that your knowledge is current and your certification stays valid. Throughout the two-day course, you'll have the opportunity to practise essential first aid skills that every workplace responder should be proficient in.
The FAW Refresher course in Washington is assessed through a combination of practical exercises, instructor observations, and a brief multiple-choice examination. This comprehensive assessment ensures you can confidently apply the skills you've updated throughout the course.
Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for another three years and fully accredited by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Many people often confuse the annual refresher with the full First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a short, skills practice session designed to keep your abilities sharp, but it does not renew your certification.
When your certificate is close to expiry, 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-year period.
The 2-day FAW Refresher course is tailored for designated first aiders in workplaces with moderate to high risks, including construction sites, industrial facilities, distribution centres, and large office environments. This course is ideal for individuals who need to renew their qualification and stay compliant with HSE regulations.
If you have multiple employees who need to renew their FAW qualification, hosting on-site training at your business location could be a more efficient option. A certified trainer can conduct the full 2-day requalification course at your workplace, enabling your team to refresh their skills together in a familiar environment.
There are several advantages to on-site training:
The Washington training venue is conveniently located in the heart of the city, offering easy access for first aiders looking to renew their FAW certification with minimal disruption. It is well-connected by public transport, with nearby bus and train links, and parking is available for those travelling by car.
Learners frequently attend from not only Washington but also surrounding areas, such as West End, Old Town, Houghton-le-Spring, Sunderland, Gateshead, South Shields, and Seaham. Many workplaces in these nearby locations prefer the Washington venue due to its accessibility and central location for their staff's FAW Requalification training.
In addition to the FAW Refresher course, we offer a variety of first aid training options in Washington. These include the Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) for 1-day certification and Paediatric First Aid, aimed at those working with children. You can view the complete list of available courses on our First Aid Courses in Washington page.

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.
I just completed the First Aid at Work refresher course and I'm glad it went efficiently and in a friendly way. Thanks
