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 course designed for individuals whose FAW certification is nearing expiry. Completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Yeovil will allow you to renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for another three years.
Unlike the comprehensive three-day course, this refresher is focused on updating your knowledge and offering the chance to practise essential life-saving skills under the guidance of an experienced assessor. It ensures your compliance with the latest 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. We recommend booking your place before your certification expires to avoid the need to retake the full 3-day First Aid at Work course.
A 28-day grace period is allowed after expiry. If your certificate has lapsed beyond this period, you will need to complete the full FAW course to renew your certification.
To attend the course, you will need to bring proof of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate on the first day of training.
What Will You Refresh/Practice During the Course?
By enrolling in the FAW Requalification course in Yeovil, you will revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus—ensuring your knowledge stays current and your certification remains valid. Over two days, you will practice essential life-saving skills required for any workplace first aider.
- Understanding the role of a first aider and infection control practices
- Conducting scene surveys and casualty assessments
- Practising adult CPR and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
- Learning the recovery position and managing seizures
- Providing first aid for choking and severe bleeding
- Managing shock, burns, scalds, and treating minor injuries
- Handling fractures, head injuries, spinal injuries, and chest injuries
- Providing care for eye injuries and addressing suspected poisoning
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis using auto-injectors
- Responding to medical emergencies such as heart attack, stroke, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes
Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher in Yeovil is assessed through a combination of practical demonstrations, trainer observations, and a short multiple-choice test. This ensures that you are fully prepared to apply the skills you’ve refreshed 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 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 to practise your skills once a year, but it does not renew your certificate.
If your certificate is approaching expiry, you will need to complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only course that officially renews your First Aid at Work qualification for another three years.
Who Is the Course For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher is designed for appointed first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments, such as construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large offices. It is intended for those who need to maintain their qualification and remain compliant with HSE requirements.

On-site training provides several advantages:
- ✓ Reduced travel time and less disruption to work

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.
