What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as FAW Requalification, is a 2-day course designed for individuals whose FAW certificate is about to expire. By completing the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Alness, you can extend your Level 3 FAW certification for an additional three years.
Unlike the full three-day programme, this refresher course focuses on updating your knowledge and giving you the chance to practice key skills under the guidance of an experienced assessor. It also ensures that you remain compliant with the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Eligibility & When to Book
This 2-day First Aid at Work refresher course is available only to individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. It is recommended that you book your place before your existing qualification expires to avoid the need to retake the full 3-day First Aid at Work course.
A 28-day grace period is allowed after the expiry date. If your certificate has expired for more than this period, you will be required to retake the full FAW course.
When attending the course, you will need to bring proof of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate on the first day of training.
What Will You Refresh/Practice During the Course?
By enrolling in the FAW Requalification course in Alness, you will revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring that your skills are up to date and your certification remains valid. Throughout the two-day course, you will practice the key skills essential for any workplace first aider.
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis using auto-injectors
- Administering CPR to adults and using an AED
- Assessing the scene and carrying out casualty surveys
- Managing shock, burns, scalds, and minor injuries
- First aid for choking and severe bleeding
- Responding to heart attacks, strokes, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes

Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher course in Alness is assessed through a combination of practical exercises, trainer observations, and a brief multiple-choice test. This approach ensures you are able to confidently apply the refreshed skills in real-life scenarios.
Upon successfully completing the course, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for another three years and fully accredited by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
Many people confuse the annual refresher with the First Aid at Work Requalification course. The annual refresher is a brief course designed to help you practise your skills each year. While beneficial, it does not renew your certificate.
If your certificate is about to expire, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only course that formally extends your First Aid at Work qualification for an additional three years.
Who Is the Course For?
The 2-day FAW Refresher course is intended for designated first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments, including construction sites, warehouses, factories, and large office settings. It is aimed at individuals who need to update their qualifications and ensure ongoing compliance with HSE standards.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Alness
If you have multiple staff members who need to renew their FAW qualification, arranging on-site training at your workplace can be a more convenient option. An accredited trainer can deliver the full 2-day requalification course directly at your premises, allowing your team to refresh their skills together.
There are several advantages to on-site training:
- ✓ Tailored to your workplace’s specific risks
- ✓ Cost-effective for training larger groups
- ✓ Flexible scheduling to suit your team’s availability
- ✓ Reduced travel time and less disruption to work

What Our Students Say?
My experience at Ayotte Recruitment and Training Academy was first class. Three weeks ago, I attended the First Aid and Level 2 Door Supervisor SIA course, and my instructor Peter was very knowledgeable and thorough with his teaching. I learn a lot from him and his staff. Peter and his staff provided the group with some valuable insight into the security industry.
