What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as the FAW Requalification, is a 2-day course for individuals in East Kilbride whose FAW certificate is due to expire. Completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course allows you to renew your Level 3 FAW certification for another three years.
Unlike the full three-day course, this refresher is designed to update your skills and knowledge, focusing on key areas that are critical to maintaining compliance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines. It also provides a valuable opportunity to practice essential first aid techniques under the supervision of an experienced assessor.
Eligibility & When to Book
The First Aid at Work Refresher Course in East Kilbride is only open to learners who already hold a valid FAW certificate or one that has recently expired. It’s recommended to book the course before your current qualification expires to avoid needing to retake the full 3-day First Aid at Work course.
If your certificate has expired for more than 28 days, you’ll need to start with the complete FAW course. You’ll be asked to bring proof of your current or recently expired FAW certificate to the course on the first day.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
By attending the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification) course in East Kilbride, you will revisit the entire FAW syllabus. This ensures your skills are up to date and your certificate remains valid. Over two days, you'll refresh essential first aid skills required for the workplace.
- Understanding first aider responsibilities and infection control
- Performing scene surveys and casualty assessments
- Practising adult CPR and using an AED effectively
- Recovery position and managing seizures
- Providing first aid for choking and severe bleeding
- Treating shock, burns, scalds, and minor injuries
- Managing fractures, spinal, head, and chest injuries
- Caring for eye injuries and suspected poisoning
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis with auto-injectors

Assessment & Certification
The FAW Refresher in East Kilbride is assessed through a mix of practical demonstrations, trainer observation, and a short multiple-choice test. This ensures you have the confidence and skills to apply your refreshed knowledge in real-world workplace situations.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. This certificate is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and valid for three years.
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
While the annual refresher helps keep your skills current, it is not enough to renew your certification. The 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course in East Kilbride is specifically designed for those whose FAW certificate is about to expire. This course provides a detailed review of the entire First Aid at Work syllabus and extends your qualification for an additional three years.
The annual refresher is a shorter session meant for ongoing practice, whereas the FAW Requalification ensures you remain fully compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards by renewing your certificate for another three years.

The FAW Refresher course in East Kilbride is tailored for individuals who already hold a valid FAW certificate and need to renew it to stay compliant with workplace health and safety regulations.
