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

The First Aid at Work Requalification in Nottingham 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 Nottingham suitable for?

It's for designated workplace first aiders in Nottingham 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. Most of our first aid at work requalification learners in Nottingham come from teams around the Creative Quarter and Lace Market — book here and we'll run the session at a venue close by.

When should I book the requalification in Nottingham?

HSE recommends sitting the FAW requalification before your current certificate expires. We run public 2-day requalification dates in Nottingham most months and we can also arrange on-site sessions for Nottingham Science Park, the East Midlands Gateway and M1 corridor 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 Nottingham — get in touch and we'll point you at the right dates. If your team is based around the NG2 business park or elsewhere in Nottingham, our trainers travel to your site for closed groups of 6+.

Where is the public requalification course held in Nottingham?

Public First Aid at Work Requalification courses run at our Nottingham training venue with good public transport and parking, easily reached from the city centre, Beeston, West Bridgford, the Lace Market, Colwick and the M1 corridor.

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

Yes. We deliver on-site 2-day FAW Requalification across Nottingham 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 Nottingham?

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. Our Nottingham schedule runs alongside cohorts in nearby East Midlands towns, so you can pick whichever date suits your shift pattern around the NG2 business park.

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. We deliver this first aid at work requalification course in Nottingham regularly, with classroom dates near the Creative Quarter and Lace Market for employers across East Midlands.

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 Nottingham as standalone half-days or alongside CPD time. Our Nottingham schedule runs alongside cohorts in nearby East Midlands towns, so you can pick whichever date suits your shift pattern around the NG2 business park.

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

The Nottingham venue is reachable from Nottingham station via tram or a short taxi, with parking for those driving in from Beeston, West Bridgford, Mansfield, Newark, Long Eaton or along the M1 (Junctions 24–27).
