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 training course for individuals whose FAW certificate is about to expire. By completing this course in Gourock, you can renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for another three years, ensuring continued compliance with HSE regulations.
Unlike the full three-day programme, the refresher focuses on updating your knowledge and offering practical experience under the supervision of an assessor. This streamlined approach allows you to maintain your qualification with minimal disruption.
Eligibility & When to Book
To attend this 2-day FAW Refresher course, you must already hold a valid FAW certificate. It’s recommended to book your place before your current qualification expires to avoid the need for the full 3-day First Aid at Work course.
If your certificate has expired, you have a 28-day grace period to complete the requalification. After this period, you will need to retake the full FAW course.
Please bring proof of your current or recently expired FAW certificate on the first day of training to confirm your eligibility.
What Will You Refresh/Practice During the Course?
By joining the FAW Requalification course in Gourock, you'll refresh your knowledge of the full First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your skills are up to date and your certification remains valid. Over two days, you’ll practice key first aid skills to help you confidently manage a variety of workplace emergencies.

- Scene surveys and casualty assessment
- Recovery position and seizure management

Assessment & Certification

Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for another three years. This certificate is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), ensuring continued compliance with UK workplace regulations.

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.
