What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also called the FAW Requalification, is a 2-day course designed for anyone whose FAW certificate is approaching expiration. Attending this course in North Berwick allows you to renew your Level 3 FAW qualification for a further three years.
This refresher course differs from the full three-day programme by focusing on updating your existing knowledge and giving you the chance to practise key first aid skills under the guidance of a qualified assessor. Completing it ensures you remain fully compliant with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
Eligibility & When to Book
The 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher in North Berwick is designed exclusively for learners who already hold a valid FAW certificate. Booking early, before your current qualification expires, ensures you avoid having to complete the full 3-day FAW course again.
If your certificate has recently expired, there is a 28-day grace period during which you can still attend the refresher. Beyond this period, you will need to enrol in the full FAW course to regain your qualification.
On the first day of training, please bring evidence of your current or recently expired FAW certificate to confirm your eligibility for the course.
What Skills Will You Refresh and Practise?
Attending the FAW Requalification course in North Berwick gives you the opportunity to revisit the full First Aid at Work syllabus, keeping your knowledge current and your certification valid. Across the two days, you’ll actively practise the essential skills every workplace first aider should master.
- Roles and responsibilities of a first aider, plus infection control
- Assessing the scene and evaluating casualties
- Adult CPR and AED training
- Recovery position techniques and seizure response
- First aid for choking incidents and severe bleeding
- Managing shock, burns, scalds, and minor injuries
- Handling fractures, and head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Care for eye injuries and suspected poisoning
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis using auto-injectors
- Responding to heart attacks, strokes, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes emergencies
Assessment & Certification
The FAW Refresher course in North Berwick is evaluated through practical demonstrations, continuous observation by your trainer, and a brief multiple-choice assessment. This approach ensures you are confident and competent in applying the first aid skills you revisit during the course.
Upon successfully completing the training, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for three more years and fully accredited by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
It’s easy to confuse the annual refresher with the 2-day First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a shorter session aimed at helping you practise key first aid skills once a year, but it does not renew your certificate.
If your FAW certificate is nearing expiry, you’ll need to complete the 2-day FAW Requalification course. This is the only course that formally renews your Level 3 First Aid at Work qualification for a further three years.
Who Should Attend?
This course is ideal for appointed first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments, such as construction sites, factories, warehouses, and larger offices. It ensures your qualification stays current and you remain fully compliant 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.
