What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, sometimes referred to as FAW Requalification, is a two-day course designed for individuals whose existing FAW certificate is approaching its expiry date. Completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Glenrothes allows you to renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for a further three years.
Rather than repeating the full three-day First Aid at Work programme, this refresher concentrates on revisiting key first aid principles and refreshing practical skills. You’ll have the chance to practise essential techniques under the guidance of a qualified assessor, ensuring you continue to meet Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements.
Eligibility & When to Book
This two-day First Aid at Work requalification course is available only to learners who already hold a valid FAW certificate. To keep your qualification current in Glenrothes, it’s important to book your place before your existing certificate expires, otherwise you may be required to complete the full three-day First Aid at Work course again.
A short grace period of up to 28 days applies after expiry. If your FAW certificate has been expired for longer than this timeframe, you’ll need to enrol on the complete FAW programme.
On the first day of training, you’ll be asked to provide evidence of your current or recently expired FAW certificate in order to take part in the course.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
By attending the FAW Requalification course in Glenrothes, you will revisit the full First Aid at Work syllabus to ensure your skills, knowledge, and confidence remain up to date. Delivered over two days, the course gives you practical experience in the core competencies required of a workplace first aider.
- Roles and responsibilities of a first aider, including infection prevention and control
- Assessing incidents, carrying out scene surveys, and managing casualties
- Adult CPR techniques and safe use of an AED
- Managing an unconscious casualty, including the recovery position and seizures
- First aid responses for choking, heavy bleeding, and shock
- Treatment of burns, scalds, and common minor workplace injuries
- Recognition and management of fractures and injuries to the head, spine, chest, and limbs
- Care for eye injuries and suspected poisoning incidents
- Identifying and responding to anaphylaxis, including the use of auto-injectors
- Dealing with major medical conditions such as heart attack, stroke, asthma, epilepsy, and diabetes
Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher course in Glenrothes is evaluated through a combination of practical skill demonstrations, continuous trainer observation, and a short multiple-choice assessment. This approach confirms that you can safely and effectively apply the first aid techniques refreshed during the training.
Once you successfully complete the course, you’ll be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. The qualification is valid for a further three years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
The annual refresher course is often confused with the FAW Requalification. While the annual refresher provides an opportunity to practise first aid skills and maintain confidence, it does not extend the validity of your certificate.
If your First Aid at Work qualification is nearing expiry, the two-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) in Glenrothes is required. This is the only course that officially renews your FAW certificate for another three-year period.
Who Is the Course For?
This two-day FAW Refresher course is suitable for qualified first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments, including construction, manufacturing, warehousing, and larger office settings.

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.
