What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as the FAW Requalification, is a 2-day training course for individuals whose FAW certification is nearing expiry. By attending the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Weymouth, you can extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years.
Unlike the full three-day course, this refresher is designed to update your knowledge and provide hands-on practice of vital skills, all under the guidance of a qualified assessor. This course ensures you remain compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Eligibility & When to Book
This 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is available exclusively to individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. It is important to book your place before your certificate expires to avoid needing to complete the full three-day First Aid at Work course.
A 28-day grace period is provided after your certificate expires. However, if the certificate has been expired for more than 28 days, you will need to retake the full FAW course.
For entry to the course, you must present your valid or recently expired FAW certificate on the first day of training.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
During the FAW Requalification in Weymouth, you’ll revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring that your skills and knowledge remain up to date. Over the course of two days, you will practice essential first aid skills that every workplace first aider must be confident in applying.
- Reinforcing first aider duties and infection control measures
- Conducting scene surveys and assessing casualties
- Adult CPR and AED (Automated External Defibrillator) practice
- Understanding the recovery position and managing seizures
- Administering first aid for choking and controlling severe bleeding
- Treating shock, burns, scalds, and addressing minor injuries
- Managing fractures, head injuries, spinal injuries, and chest injuries
- First aid for eye injuries and suspected poisoning
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis with auto-injectors
- Responding to emergencies such as heart attacks, strokes, epilepsy, asthma attacks, and diabetes-related issues
Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher in Weymouth is assessed through a combination of practical demonstrations, trainer observations, and a brief multiple-choice test. This ensures that you can competently apply the skills learned during the course in real-life situations.
Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for another three years and fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
Many people confuse the annual refresher with the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a brief course designed to help you practice your skills annually. While it is beneficial, it does not renew your certificate.
If your certificate is nearing expiry, you will need to complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only course that formally renews your First Aid at Work qualification for another three years.
Who Is the Course For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher is intended for designated first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments, such as construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large office buildings. The course is specifically for individuals looking to update their qualifications and stay compliant with HSE standards.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Weymouth
If multiple staff members at your workplace need to renew their FAW qualification, arranging an on-site training session may be more convenient. A certified trainer can deliver the full 2-day requalification course at your location, enabling your team to refresh their skills together.
On-site training offers several advantages:
- ✓ Flexible scheduling for dates and times
- ✓ Tailored content for your workplace risks
- ✓ Cost-effective for larger teams
- ✓ Group training in a single session

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.
