What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher Course?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as the FAW Requalification, is a two-day course designed for individuals in Dundee whose current FAW certification is about to expire. This course provides an opportunity to update your skills and extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for another three years.
Rather than repeating the full three-day programme, this refresher focuses on the most vital aspects of workplace first aid. You will have the chance to review and practise critical life-saving techniques under the supervision of experienced assessors, ensuring that you remain compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
Eligibility & When to Book
The Dundee First Aid at Work Refresher Course is exclusively available to individuals who already possess a valid or recently expired FAW certificate. It is advisable to book this course while your certification is still active to avoid the need for the full three-day training again.
If your certificate has expired for more than 28 days, you will need to retake the complete FAW course. It’s recommended to secure your spot in advance to prevent your certification from expiring.
Please ensure you bring your valid or recently expired FAW certificate on the first day of training as proof of eligibility.
What Will You Practise and Update During the Course?
During the First Aid at Work Refresher in Dundee, you will revisit the full FAW syllabus over two days, ensuring your first aid skills are up to date and your qualification remains valid for another three years. The course offers a hands-on approach to refresh both your practical and theoretical knowledge, with an emphasis on key first aid skills essential for the workplace.
- Providing adult CPR and effectively using an AED
- Managing choking incidents and controlling severe bleeding
- Placing casualties in the recovery position and handling seizures
- Conducting scene surveys and casualty assessments
- Reinforcing the role of the first aider and infection control techniques
- Treating burns, scalds, shock, and other minor injuries
- Managing fractures and handling head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Recognising eye injuries and addressing potential poisoning incidents
- Identifying and responding to anaphylaxis and using auto-injectors
- Dealing with medical emergencies such as heart attack, stroke, asthma, epilepsy, and diabetes
Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Dundee is assessed through continuous practical demonstrations, trainer observations, and a brief written assessment. This ensures that you can effectively apply the skills and knowledge covered during the training.
Upon successful completion, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for three years. This qualification is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), ensuring your ability to act confidently as a first aider in the workplace.
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
It’s easy to confuse the annual refresher course with the full 2-day FAW Requalification. The annual refresher is a brief update that helps you maintain your first aid skills in between renewals, but it does not extend the validity of your certificate.
To renew your qualification for another three years, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher course. This comprehensive training revisits the full First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your skills and certification remain fully compliant with the latest HSE regulations.
Who Is the Course For?
The 2-day FAW Refresher course in Dundee is designed for professionals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate and need to renew it. This course is ideal for individuals working in medium- to high-risk environments, such as construction, manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare. It’s also suited for office staff and supervisors who wish to keep their first aid knowledge current and compliant with health and safety standards.

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.
