The First Aid at Work Re-qualification (FAWR) course is designed for people who already hold a full First Aid at Work qualification and whose current certificate is no more than 3 months out of date. A copy of the current (or recently expired) certificate must be provided prior to the course.
Duration
The First Aid at Work Requalification (FAWR) course require 12 hours of contact time (plus breaks) and, ideally, is taught over 2 consecutive days although this can be adapted to meet your needs. For example, two days over several weeks or, for an additional cost, split into a number of half day sessions. Please note that the course must be completed within 10 weeks.
Assessment
Assessment is in the form of practical exercises and a straightforward multiple choice paper. Candidates must pass both elements to qualify.
Please note that candidates must be able to perform exercises at floor level where required. It is a requirement of all regulated courses that the candidate should be able to communicate effectively with Emergency Services and, although this is not assessed formally, your instructor must be satisfied that this is the case. As such, all the question papers are in English and a reader will be provided if candidates have literacy concerns or learning difficulties.
Certification
Once qualified, the certificate is valid for 3 years, at the end of which candidates will need to attend a two-day requalification course (provided this is done within 3 months of the expiry of their current certificate). It is recommended by HSE that all first aiders should do an annual 3 hour refresher course to keep their skills up-to-date.

Course content
The course covers the same subject matter as the full 3 day course but moves at a faster pace given the existing knowledge base of the attendees.
