What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also referred to as the FAW Requalification, is a 2-day course designed for individuals whose FAW certification is approaching expiry. By completing the First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Musselburgh, you can extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years.
Unlike the full three-day programme, this refresher focuses specifically on updating your knowledge and allows you to practice key skills under the supervision of a qualified assessor. It also ensures you remain fully compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Eligibility & When to Book
This 2-day First Aid at Work renewal course is exclusively for individuals who already possess a valid FAW certificate. It is advisable to book your course before your current certificate expires to prevent the need for the full 3-day First Aid at Work course.
There is a 28-day grace period after your certificate expires. If your certification has lapsed beyond this time, you will be required to complete the full FAW course again.
When attending, please bring proof of your current or recently expired FAW certificate on the first day of training.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
During the FAW Requalification in Musselburgh, you will revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your skills are refreshed and your certification stays valid. Over the two-day course, you will refine essential first aid skills that every workplace first aider needs to maintain their competence.
- Understanding the roles and responsibilities of a first aider, along with infection control measures
- Conducting scene surveys and casualty assessments
- Adult CPR and AED usage practice
- Proper techniques for placing someone in the recovery position and managing seizures
- First aid for choking incidents and controlling severe bleeding
- Managing shock, burns, scalds, and treating minor injuries
- Addressing fractures, as well as head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Providing care for eye injuries and potential poisoning cases
- Recognising and treating anaphylactic reactions using auto-injectors
- Responding to emergencies such as heart attacks, strokes, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes
Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher in Musselburgh is assessed through a combination of practical demonstrations, trainer observations, and a brief multiple-choice exam. This ensures that you can confidently apply the refreshed skills in real-life situations.
Upon successful completion, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for another three years, and fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
There is often confusion between the annual refresher and the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a short course to help you practice your first aid skills each year. While useful, it does not renew your qualification.
If your certificate is nearing expiry, the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course is the required training. This course is the only one that officially extends your First Aid at Work qualification for another three years.
Who Is the Course For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher is ideal for appointed first aiders in medium- to high-risk environments, such as construction sites, warehouses, factories, and large office buildings. It is tailored for individuals who need to update their qualifications and remain compliant with HSE regulations.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Musselburgh
If you have multiple employees needing to renew their FAW qualification, organising on-site training could be more convenient. An accredited trainer can deliver the full 2-day requalification course directly at your workplace, allowing your team to refresh their skills together.
On-site training offers numerous advantages:
- ✓ Flexible scheduling options
- ✓ Tailored to your workplace’s specific risks
- ✓ Cost-effective for larger teams

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.
