Renew your First Aid at Work certification with this two-day requalification course. Designed for those whose 3-day FAW certificate is nearing expiry, it ensures your skills remain valid and up to date with HSE protocols. You’ll complete practical exercises and theory sessions to consolidate existing knowledge and maintain workplace readiness.
Day one begins with a review of casualty assessment, CPR, choking management, and AED usage. You’ll practise on manikins and engage in role-play exercises to reinforce core skills. The instructor provides continuous guidance to ensure competence is maintained.
On the second day, training focuses on injuries, burns, fractures, head and spinal care, shock, and minor medical emergencies. Practical scenarios combine multiple emergencies, encouraging prioritisation and decision-making skills. Knowledge checks and group discussions ensure understanding of current HSE requirements and protocols.
Completion of both days includes practical assessments and written knowledge checks. Successful candidates receive a renewed Level 3 FAW certificate, valid for a further three years.
Courses are available across South Wiltshire, including Salisbury, Chippenham, Marlborough, Bath, and Warminster. Each venue provides practical areas and classroom facilities for a balanced learning experience.
On-site delivery is available to replicate your workplace environment. This allows you to practise emergency response in realistic conditions, tailored to your organisation’s specific hazards and protocols.
You must hold a current, in-date First Aid at Work certificate to enrol. Participants under 16 may attend, but cannot take on workplace first aid responsibilities until legally allowed.
Physical activities include kneeling, bending, and performing CPR, so comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes are required. Previous experience with first aid exercises will help consolidate your skills during scenario-based training.
Your course is led by an experienced instructor with military and St John Ambulance backgrounds, providing practical insight and scenario-focused training. Accreditation through First Aid Awards Ltd ensures compliance with HSE standards.
The course balances practical skill refreshment with theory updates, ensuring you remain competent and confident to respond effectively in workplace emergencies. Feedback is provided throughout to optimise learning and skill retention.
This course is intended for those who currently hold a 3-day First Aid at Work certificate and are due for renewal. You will maintain your competency in all essential workplace first aid skills, ensuring compliance with HSE regulations.
It is not suitable for individuals without a valid FAW certificate, as it assumes prior knowledge of practical and theoretical first aid concepts. Completing this course before your certificate expires avoids lapses in workplace coverage.
The requalification course focuses on refreshing and consolidating existing skills rather than introducing completely new content. Practical exercises, scenarios, and assessments are streamlined to cover the critical elements of first aid efficiently.
The full 3-day course is necessary if your FAW certificate has lapsed beyond three months or if the instructor determines that additional training is needed. This ensures participants are fully competent before acting as first aiders.
Assessment is ongoing throughout both days. Instructors observe CPR, choking relief, casualty handling, bandaging, and scenario responses to ensure competency.
Knowledge checks are also conducted verbally and in written form to verify understanding of HSE procedures, legal requirements, and reporting protocols. Feedback is provided to refine techniques and ensure readiness for workplace emergencies.
Yes, the course can be delivered on-site, with scenarios adapted to reflect your specific environment. Practising in your workplace allows you to identify and manage hazards unique to your setting.
On-site delivery is particularly beneficial for larger groups or organisations wanting minimal disruption. The syllabus remains the same and you will still receive the full requalification certificate.
No, accommodation is not included. Participants will need to arrange their own overnight stay if required. Local hotels and guesthouses near the training venues can be used.
Scheduling should allow for sufficient travel and rest between days. The provider can offer advice on local accommodation options if needed.
Yes, the course fee is per person for the two days. Prices may vary depending on the training location, group size, or any customised delivery requirements.
Group bookings and on-site delivery options can influence the per-person cost.
Comfortable clothing suitable for kneeling, bending, lifting, and CPR is required, along with closed-toe shoes. Water and light snacks are recommended.
You should also bring any personal medical information you wish the instructor to know, along with a notepad and pen for theoretical notes. This ensures you get the most from both practical and classroom sessions.
