First Aid at Work Refresher in Dunbar
If your First Aid at Work (FAW) certificate is about to expire, the Dunbar FAW Refresher is the perfect way to keep your qualification valid. This 2-day course is designed to update your knowledge, refresh essential skills, and ensure you remain confident in responding to workplace emergencies.
Unlike the full FAW programme, the refresher focuses on practical skill reinforcement rather than repeating the entire course. Led by a qualified assessor, it provides hands-on training and guidance while making sure you meet all Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards. After completing this course, your Level 3 FAW certification will be renewed for a further three years.
Who Can Attend & Booking Guidance
The Dunbar First Aid at Work Refresher is intended for individuals who already hold a valid Level 3 FAW certificate. To make the most of this refresher, it’s best to secure your spot before your current certification expires, so you won’t need to repeat the full three-day FAW course.
If your certificate has recently expired, there is a short grace period of up to 28 days during which you can still enrol in the refresher. Beyond this window, you would need to complete the full FAW course again.
On the first day of training, please bring a copy of your current or recently expired FAW certificate as proof of eligibility.

- Roles and responsibilities of a workplace first aider, plus infection control

Evaluation & Certification in Dunbar

Annual Check-In vs Dunbar 2-Day FAW Requalification
Many people confuse the yearly refresher with the full First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a short update session designed to help you practise your first aid skills once a year, but it does not extend your certification.
To formally renew your FAW qualification, you need to attend the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) in Dunbar. Completing this course is the official way to keep your Level 3 certificate valid for another three years.
Who Should Attend the Dunbar FAW Refresher?
The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher in Dunbar is ideal for designated first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments, including construction sites, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and large office settings. It’s aimed at those who want to maintain their Level 3 FAW certification and stay fully compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.

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.
