What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification) Course?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher Course, also known as FAW Requalification, is a comprehensive 2-day training programme for individuals whose FAW certificate is nearing expiration. By completing the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Glasgow, you will be able to extend your Level 3 FAW certification for an additional three years.
Unlike the full three-day First Aid at Work course, this refresher course focuses on reinforcing key knowledge and providing a hands-on opportunity to refine vital skills under the guidance of a qualified assessor. It ensures you remain compliant with the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Eligibility & When to Book for the Glasgow
This 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is exclusively available to individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. It is recommended to secure your booking before your certification expires to avoid the need to retake the full 3-day First Aid at Work course.
A 28-day grace period is offered after your certificate expires. If your certification has expired for longer than this period, you will be required to complete the full FAW course again.
On the first day of the course, you will need to present proof of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate.
What Will You Refresh and Practice During the Course?
By attending the FAW Requalification in Glasgow, you will revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your knowledge stays current and your certification remains valid. Over two days, you will practise the critical skills every workplace first aider needs.
- Assessing the scene and casualty, along with initial surveys
- Understanding the role and responsibilities of a first aider, including infection control
- Administering Adult CPR and using an AED

Assessment & Certification for the Glasgow Course
The Glasgow First Aid at Work Refresher is assessed through a combination of practical demonstrations, trainer observations, and a brief multiple-choice test. This assessment approach ensures you can confidently apply the refreshed skills throughout your workplace.
Upon successfully completing the course, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for three more years, and fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
The annual refresher is often confused with the First Aid at Work Requalification course. While the annual refresher is a brief session to practice your skills, it does not renew your certificate.
If your certificate is about to expire, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the official course that extends your First Aid at Work qualification for an additional 3 years.
Who Should Take the Glasgow FAW Refresher Course?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is intended for appointed first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments such as construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large office settings. It is designed for those who need to keep their certification up to date and ensure ongoing compliance with HSE regulations.

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.
