Introduction
The L3 First Aid at Work Requalification / Renewal course is designed for individuals who already hold a valid First Aid at Work certificate and need to renew it before it expires. This 2-day course refreshes your first aid knowledge, updates your practical skills, and helps you remain confident when responding to workplace emergencies.
What Is the First Aid at Work Requalification Course?
The First Aid at Work Requalification course is a 2-day refresher training programme for qualified workplace first aiders. It allows learners to renew their existing First Aid at Work qualification and continue acting as recognised first aiders in the workplace. As first aid certificates are normally valid for three years, completing this course before expiry is essential to maintain compliance.
Who Should Take This Course?
This course is suitable for individuals who currently hold a valid First Aid at Work certificate and need to renew their qualification. It is also ideal for workplace first aiders who want to refresh their knowledge and practise their emergency response skills.
You should take this course if you are:
- A qualified first aider with a certificate close to expiry
- Responsible for first aid in your workplace
- Looking to refresh your practical first aid skills
- Required by your employer to stay compliant
If your certificate has expired by more than 28 days, you may need to complete the full Level 3 First Aid at Work 3-day course instead.
Why First Aid Requalification Is Important
First aid skills can fade over time, especially if they are not used regularly. Requalification helps ensure that first aiders remain confident, capable, and up to date with current workplace first aid practices. Without a valid certificate, a person may no longer be recognised as a qualified workplace first aider, which can affect employer compliance and workplace safety.

The course refreshes key first aid knowledge and practical skills needed to manage workplace emergencies. Learners review how to assess incidents, support casualties, and provide safe and effective first aid until professional help arrives.
