First Aid at Work Requalification
Renew your First Aid at Work certificate with the two-day requalification course. Certificates can be requalified up to 3 months after expiry — but until requalified, the holder cannot act as a workplace first aider.
Who is this course for?
The FAW Requalification is for holders of a current, valid First Aid at Work certificate who need to renew before it expires. Suitable for:
- Current FAW certificate holders with a certificate due to expire within 3 months
- Appointed workplace first aiders maintaining their qualification
- Organisations keeping their first aid team fully certified
Certificate expiry rules: Learners may take the requalification course up to 3 months after their certificate has expired. However, once a certificate has expired the holder cannot act as a workplace first aider until they have successfully requalified. If the certificate has been expired for more than 3 months, the learner must take the full three-day First Aid at Work course — the requalification is not available in this case.
What does the course cover?
The course revisits and refreshes all key FAW topics with an emphasis on practical skills, updated guidelines and scenario-based practice:
- Refresher on the first aider's role and responsibilities
- CPR, AED and unconscious casualty management
- Wounds, bleeding and shock
- Burns, scalds and eye injuries
- Bone and joint injuries
- Medical emergencies — heart attack, stroke, seizures, asthma, anaphylaxis, diabetes
- Any updates to first aid guidelines or best practice
Assessment
Continuous practical assessment across both days plus an MCQ exam / questioning — consistent with the full FAW qualification standards.
Accreditation
Accredited through FAIB. Regulated qualification through Highfield Qualifications also available.
