What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, or FAW Requalification, is a 2-day training course designed for individuals whose FAW certificate is nearing expiry. Completing the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Livingston allows you to renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for another three years, ensuring you remain compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
Unlike the full three-day course, the refresher focuses on updating essential first aid knowledge and giving you the chance to practice your skills under the guidance of an experienced assessor. This course is designed to keep your skills current and meet HSE regulations.
Eligibility & When to Book
The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course in Livingston is available exclusively to learners who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. It's advisable to book your place before your certificate expires to avoid having to complete the full 3-day course again.
There is a 28-day grace period following expiry. If your certificate has expired beyond this period, you will need to retake the full FAW course.
Make sure to bring your current or recently expired FAW certificate on the first day of the training.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
During the 2-day FAW Requalification course in Livingston, you'll revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus to ensure your knowledge is up-to-date. You'll practice essential first aid skills to ensure you’re prepared for any workplace emergency.
- Understanding the responsibilities of a first aider and infection control protocols
- Conducting scene surveys and casualty assessments
- Practicing adult CPR and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
- Applying the recovery position and managing seizures
- Providing first aid for choking and controlling severe bleeding
- Managing shock, burns, scalds, and treating minor injuries
- Handling fractures, head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Caring for eye injuries and suspected poisoning cases
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis using auto-injectors
- Responding to heart attacks, strokes, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes
Assessment & Certification
The FAW Refresher course in Livingston includes a blend of practical demonstrations, trainer observations, and a brief multiple-choice test to ensure you can confidently apply the skills you've refreshed during the training.
Upon successful completion, you’ll receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for another three years and recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
It's easy to confuse the annual refresher with the FAW Requalification. The annual refresher is a brief course to help you practice first aid skills on a yearly basis, but it doesn’t renew your qualification.
If your certificate is close to expiring, you’ll need to complete the 2-day FAW Refresher course. This is the only option that formally renews your First Aid at Work qualification for three more years.
Who Is the Course For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is intended for appointed first aiders in medium- to high-risk workplaces, such as construction sites, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and large offices. It is specifically designed for individuals who need to maintain an up-to-date qualification and continue to meet the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) compliance standards in Livingston.

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.
