What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work Refresher, or FAW Requalification, is a two-day course designed for individuals whose FAW certificate is approaching expiration. Completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Barrhead allows you to renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years.
Unlike the comprehensive three-day course, the refresher focuses on revisiting key concepts and provides the chance to practice vital first aid skills under the guidance of a qualified assessor. It ensures continued compliance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
Eligibility & When to Book
This 2-day First Aid at Work renewal course is designed for individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. To avoid the need to retake the full 3-day First Aid at Work course, it's important to book your spot before your current certification expires.
A 28-day grace period is provided after the certificate expires. If your certificate has expired for more than this period, you will be required to complete the full FAW course again.
On the first day of the course, please bring along proof of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate for verification.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
When you join the FAW Requalification course in Barrhead, you’ll revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your knowledge is current and your certification stays valid. Over the course of two days, you'll hone the critical skills every workplace first aider must master.
- Adult CPR and AED practice
- Scene surveys and casualty assessment
- Recovery position and seizure management
- Responding to heart attack, stroke, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes
- Understanding first aider responsibilities and infection control
- Treating shock, burns, scalds, and minor injuries
- Managing fractures, head, spinal, and chest injuries
- First aid for choking and severe bleeding
- Care for eye injuries and suspected poisoning
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis with auto-injectors
Assessment & Certification
The FAW Refresher course in Barrhead is assessed through a combination of hands-on practical exercises, trainer observations, and a brief multiple-choice exam. This approach ensures that you can confidently demonstrate the skills you've refreshed throughout the training.
Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, which will be valid for another three years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
There is often confusion between the annual refresher and the First Aid at Work Requalification course. The annual refresher is a brief session designed to help you maintain your skills and practice key techniques throughout the year. While beneficial, it does not extend or renew your certification.
If your FAW certificate is nearing expiry, you will need to complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This course is the only recognised way to formally renew your First Aid at Work qualification, extending its validity for another three years.
Who Is the Course For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is ideal for designated first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments. Whether you're in construction, manufacturing, warehousing, or any other high-risk industry, this course ensures you stay compliant with HSE regulations and keep your qualification current. It is also suited for those working in large offices, educational institutions, and other settings that require first aid expertise.

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.
I just completed the First Aid at Work refresher course and I'm glad it went efficiently and in a friendly way. Thanks

I needed to renew my security guard licence and do my top up with first aid training and Hurak were very helpful with getting it sorted ASAP. Good customer service and making sure everything went smoothly as possible.
I found Hurak as a very well organised organisation. It has been so simple and a straight forward process during course top-up for the renewal of my first aid and my SIA licence. I'll recommend this organisation to anyone who volunteer for the training.
