What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also referred to as FAW Requalification, is a two-day course designed for individuals whose FAW certification is nearing expiration. Upon completing this refresher course in Dunfermline, you'll be able to extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years.
Unlike the full three-day course, this refresher program is specifically designed to refresh your knowledge and skills, providing you with practical opportunities to demonstrate essential techniques under the guidance of an experienced assessor. Additionally, it ensures you remain compliant with the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines.
Eligibility & When to Book
This two-day First Aid at Work requalification course is specifically for those who already hold a valid FAW certificate. We recommend securing your place in advance, before the expiration of your current certificate, to avoid the need to complete the full three-day First Aid at Work course again.
A grace period of up to 28 days after your certification expires is allowed. Should your certificate expire beyond this period, you will be required to start the FAW course from the beginning.
Remember, to participate in this course, you must present your current or recently expired FAW certificate on the first day of training.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
By enrolling in the FAW Requalification course in Dunfermline, you’ll revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus to ensure your skills are current and your certification remains valid. Over the course of two days, you’ll practise vital techniques that are essential for every workplace first aider.
- Administering CPR and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
- Managing heart attacks, strokes, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes
- Assessing the scene and performing casualty evaluations
- Handling fractures and injuries to the head, spine, and chest
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis with the use of auto-injectors
- Dealing with shock, burns, scalds, and other minor injuries
- Infection control and understanding the first aider's role
- Dealing with eye injuries and suspected poisoning
- Managing severe bleeding and responding to choking incidents
- Administering care for seizures and positioning the casualty correctly
Assessment & Certification
During the First Aid at Work Refresher in Dunfermline, you will undergo a thorough assessment consisting of practical demonstrations, direct observation by your trainer, and a brief multiple-choice test. This ensures that you can effectively apply the refreshed skills you’ve learned.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, which is valid for an additional three years and fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
Many people confuse the annual refresher course with the First Aid at Work Requalification. While the annual refresher is a short course designed to help you practice and maintain your skills, it does not renew your certification.
If your certificate is approaching its expiry, you will need to complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only programme that officially renews your First Aid at Work qualification for a further three years.
Who Should Take This Course?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is designed for designated first aiders in high-risk environments, including construction sites, large offices, factories, and warehouses. It is suitable for individuals who need to maintain their qualification and stay in compliance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Dunfermline
If you have a team of employees who need to renew their FAW certification, arranging on-site training at your workplace could be a more convenient option.

Choosing on-site training offers numerous advantages:
- ✓ Tailored to your workplace’s specific risks
- ✓ Flexible scheduling to fit your business needs

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.
