How long is the First Aid at Work Requalification course in Liverpool?

The First Aid at Work Requalification in Liverpool runs over 2 consecutive days, 12 contact hours in total (6 hours per day). It's the HSE-aligned refresher route for first aiders whose existing 3-day FAW certificate is still in date.

Who is the 2-day FAW Requalification in Liverpool suitable for?

It's for designated workplace first aiders in Liverpool whose existing First Aid at Work certificate has not yet expired (or is within HSE's recommended grace period). If your certificate has already lapsed beyond that window, you should book the full 3-day First Aid at Work course instead.

How long is the requalification certificate valid for?

The First Aid at Work certificate is valid for 3 years from the requalification date. HSE recommends an annual half-day refresher between certificates to keep skills sharp. Our Liverpool schedule runs alongside cohorts in nearby North West England towns, so you can pick whichever date suits your shift pattern around Speke and the Estuary corridor.

When should I book the requalification in Liverpool?

HSE recommends sitting the FAW requalification before your current certificate expires. We run public 2-day requalification dates in Liverpool most months and we can also arrange on-site sessions for JLR Halewood, Port of Liverpool and Liverpool City Region employers with a short lead time.

What if my First Aid at Work certificate has already expired?

If your FAW certificate expired more than HSE's recommended grace period ago, you'll need the full 3-day First Aid at Work course rather than the 2-day requalification. We run both courses in Liverpool — get in touch and we'll point you at the right dates. If your team is based around Liverpool ONE and the Waterfront or elsewhere in Liverpool, our trainers travel to your site for closed groups of 6+.

Where is the public requalification course held in Liverpool?

Public First Aid at Work Requalification courses run at our Liverpool training venue with good public transport links and on-site/nearby parking — ideal for delegates travelling in from across the Liverpool City Region, the Wirral and along the M62/M57.

Can you deliver the requalification on-site at our Liverpool workplace?

Yes. We deliver on-site 2-day FAW Requalification across Liverpool and the surrounding area for groups of up to 12 learners. We supply all manikins, AED trainers, bandages and casualty simulation kit; you provide a room large enough for practical work and refreshments.

What's covered on the 2-day requalification in Liverpool?

The 2-day requalification revisits the full First Aid at Work syllabus — primary survey, CPR and AED use, choking, severe bleeding and shock, burns, fractures, head and spinal injuries, chest, abdominal and pelvic injuries, poisoning, anaphylaxis, asthma, diabetic emergencies, seizures and unresponsive casualty management — at a faster pace because you're already a trained first aider.

How is the requalification assessed?

Assessment is continuous and practical throughout the 2 days, plus short written question papers — the same HSE-aligned format as the full First Aid at Work course. There's no separate end-of-course exam. We deliver this first aid at work requalification course in Liverpool regularly, with classroom dates near the Baltic Triangle and Knowledge Quarter for employers across North West England.

How does the requalification fit with our HSE first-aid needs assessment?

Your first-aid needs assessment determines how many first aiders your workplace needs and at what level. If it identified higher-risk activities and you currently hold the 3-day First Aid at Work certificate, the 2-day requalification keeps the same qualification in place for a further 3 years. Most of our first aid at work requalification learners in Liverpool come from teams around Speke and the Estuary corridor — book here and we'll run the session at a venue close by.

Is an annual refresher required between requalifications?

HSE strongly recommends a half-day annual skills refresher between FAW certificates. It's not a legal requirement but it's the recommended way to keep CPR, AED and bleed-control skills current — we run annual refresher sessions in Liverpool as standalone half-days or alongside CPD time. Learners from the Baltic Triangle and Knowledge Quarter and the wider Liverpool area sit this course with us each month — the content and certificate are the same wherever you're based.

How do I get to the Liverpool venue and is parking available?

The Liverpool venue is reachable from Liverpool Lime Street and Liverpool Central by bus or short taxi, with on-site or nearby parking for those driving in from the Wirral, Knowsley, Sefton or along the M62, M57 and M58.
