What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher Course?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also called the FAW Requalification, is designed for learners in Bellshill whose existing certificate is approaching expiry. This two-day programme enables you to update your knowledge and extend your Level 3 FAW certification for an additional three years.
Instead of covering the entire three-day course again, the refresher highlights the most critical areas of workplace first aid. It provides you with the opportunity to refresh key skills under the guidance of qualified trainers, ensuring you remain fully aligned with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements.
Eligibility & When to Book
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher in Bellshill is available only to learners who already hold a current FAW certificate or one that has expired very recently. To join, you must bring evidence of your valid or recently expired certificate with you on the first day of training.
If your certificate has been out of date for more than 28 days, you will not be able to take this refresher and will need to complete the full three-day FAW qualification again. Booking early is recommended to avoid your certificate from lapsing.
What Will You Practise and Update During the Course?
During the FAW Requalification in Bellshill, the entire First Aid at Work syllabus is revisited over two days. This ensures your skills remain sharp and your qualification continues to meet workplace safety standards. You will refresh a wide range of practical and theoretical knowledge, including:
- Delivering adult CPR and using an AED effectively
- Helping a casualty who is choking or experiencing severe bleeding
- Placing someone in the recovery position and managing seizures
- Carrying out scene surveys and initial casualty assessments
- Understanding the role of the first aider and preventing cross-infection
- Providing first aid for burns, scalds, and minor injuries
- Recognising and treating shock and poisoning incidents
- Managing fractures along with head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Caring for eye injuries and other serious conditions
- Responding to illnesses such as heart attack, stroke, asthma, epilepsy, diabetes, and anaphylaxis (including the use of auto-injectors)
Assessment & Certification
The FAW Refresher in Bellshill is assessed through observed practice, practical activities, and a short written test. These assessments are designed to confirm your ability to apply the knowledge and skills you’ve refreshed during the course.
Once you successfully complete the training, you’ll receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, recognised nationwide and valid for three years. This qualification is entirely accepted by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
If your current certificate is coming up for renewal, the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) is the course you need. Completing it will extend your certification for a further three years.
The annual refresher, by contrast, is a shorter session designed simply to keep your practical skills fresh between renewals. While useful for ongoing practice, it does not update or renew your formal FAW certificate.
Who Is the Course For?
The FAW Refresher in Bellshill is designed for qualified first aiders working in environments with moderate to high risk. This includes settings such as warehouses, construction projects, busy office settings, and industrial sites. It is intended for those who need to maintain their certification and continue meeting Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Bellshill
If multiple members of your team need to renew their FAW certificate, arranging on-site training at your workplace can be a practical option.

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.
