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

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

It's for designated workplace first aiders in Sheffield 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. We deliver this first aid at work requalification course in Sheffield regularly, with classroom dates near the Advanced Manufacturing Park at Catcliffe for employers across Yorkshire and the Humber.

When should I book the requalification in Sheffield?

HSE recommends sitting the FAW requalification before your current certificate expires. We run public 2-day requalification dates in Sheffield most months and we can also arrange on-site sessions for AMP, Boeing Sheffield, Meadowhall and South Yorkshire 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 Sheffield — get in touch and we'll point you at the right dates. Most of our first aid at work requalification learners in Sheffield come from teams around the Northern General catchment — book here and we'll run the session at a venue close by.

Where is the public requalification course held in Sheffield?

Public First Aid at Work Requalification courses run at our Sheffield training venue, easily reached from the city centre, the AMP at Catcliffe, Meadowhall, Rotherham, Chesterfield and along the M1.

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

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

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. If your team is based around Kelham Island employers or elsewhere in Sheffield, our trainers travel to your site for closed groups of 6+.

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 Sheffield come from teams around the Advanced Manufacturing Park at Catcliffe — 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 Sheffield as standalone half-days or alongside CPD time. Most of our first aid at work requalification learners in Sheffield come from teams around the Northern General catchment — book here and we'll run the session at a venue close by.

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

The Sheffield venue is reachable from Sheffield Midland station and the Supertram network, with parking for those driving in from Rotherham, Barnsley, Chesterfield, the AMP at Catcliffe or along the M1.
