The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, often referred to as the FAW Requalification, is a 2-day training programme for individuals whose First Aid at Work certificate is approaching expiry. By completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Wigan, you can renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for a further three years.
Unlike the full three-day First Aid at Work course, this refresher focuses on updating your knowledge and giving you the opportunity to practise key first aid skills again under the guidance of a qualified assessor. It ensures that your certification remains valid and compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommendations.
This 2-day First Aid at Work renewal course is designed specifically for learners who already hold a valid FAW certificate. To avoid having to retake the full 3-day First Aid at Work course, it’s recommended that you book the refresher before your existing qualification expires.
If your certificate has expired, there is usually a 28-day grace period during which you can still take the refresher course. If more time has passed, you will normally need to complete the full FAW course again.
You will also be required to bring proof of your current or recently expired FAW certificate on the first day of training.
When attending the FAW Requalification in Wigan, you will revisit the complete First Aid at Work syllabus to ensure your knowledge and practical skills remain up to date. Over the two-day course, you will practise the essential techniques required for workplace first aiders.
The First Aid at Work Refresher in Wigan is assessed through a combination of practical demonstrations, trainer observation, and a short multiple-choice test. This ensures that learners can confidently apply the refreshed skills in real workplace situations.
Once you successfully complete the training, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate that remains valid for three years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
The annual refresher and the First Aid at Work Requalification are often confused. The annual refresher is a short session designed to help first aiders practise their skills each year, but it does not extend the validity of your certificate.
If your certificate is due to expire, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This course is the only training that officially renews your First Aid at Work certificate for another three-year period.
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is suitable for appointed workplace first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments such as construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large offices. It is designed for those who need to keep their qualification current and remain compliant with HSE workplace regulations.
If several members of your team need to renew their FAW qualification, arranging on-site training at your workplace can be a convenient option. A qualified trainer can deliver the full 2-day requalification course at your premises, allowing your staff to update their skills together.
On-site training offers several benefits:
The Wigan training venue is centrally located, making it convenient for workplace first aiders who need to renew their FAW qualification. The venue can be easily reached by public transport, with nearby train and bus connections, and parking options available for those travelling by car.
Learners regularly attend the course from across Wigan and nearby areas, including Leigh, Standish, Hindley, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Atherton, Golborne, and Orrell. Many businesses in these locations choose the Wigan venue as a convenient place for their employees to complete the FAW Requalification.
If you’re looking for other types of training, we also offer additional first aid courses in Wigan, including Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) for one-day certification and Paediatric First Aid for those working with children. You can browse the full list of options on our First Aid Courses in Wigan 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
I have used Hurak Training services to upscale my skills throughout my career and the construction industry and security the team is very supportive under understanding for people from all walks of life they give you personalise advice about the courses and during the courses they will always accommodate for support required throughout your training which is very unique and much appreciated so far I have successfully achieved my level three in first-aid and fire marshals and currently completing a course for CCTV security with this company through their partners the support team are very helpful and supportive and I look forward to completing this course To review this course.
