What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification) in Oban?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as FAW Requalification, is a concise 2-day course designed for individuals whose FAW certification is nearing expiration. Completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Oban extends your Level 3 FAW qualification for another 3 years, ensuring your certification remains valid.
This refresher course is not as lengthy as the complete 3-day FAW programme but concentrates on refreshing critical knowledge. It provides a valuable opportunity to practise essential first aid skills in a controlled environment, under the supervision of a qualified assessor, while adhering to Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.
Eligibility & When to Book for Oban
This 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is specifically for individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. It is highly recommended to secure your booking before your existing certification expires to avoid the need for completing the full 3-day First Aid at Work course.
A 28-day grace period is available after the certificate expires. If the certificate has expired for longer than this period, you will be required to retake the full FAW course.
On the first day of your course, you must bring along proof of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate to be eligible for training.
What Will You Refresh/Practice During the Course in Oban?
When you take part in the FAW Requalification in Oban, you will revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus. This ensures that your skills are refreshed, your knowledge is up to date, and your certification remains valid. Over two days, you will practise key first aid techniques crucial for any workplace first aider.
- Practising adult CPR and using an AED
- Managing fractures, head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Responding to medical emergencies such as heart attacks, strokes, and asthma
- Understanding the role of a first aider and infection control measures

Assessment & Certification for Oban
The First Aid at Work Refresher in Oban involves a blend of practical exercises, trainer assessments, and a brief multiple-choice quiz to verify your understanding. These methods ensure that you can confidently apply the skills you’ve practised throughout the course.
Upon successful completion, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate. This certificate is valid for an additional three years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), ensuring continued compliance with UK regulations.
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification in Oban
The annual refresher course is often confused with the 2-day FAW Requalification. While the yearly refresher offers a quick skills practice, it does not renew your qualification. It’s beneficial for keeping your skills sharp, but it does not extend your certification.
If your FAW certificate is about to expire, the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course is required to renew your qualification officially. This course is the only one that extends your First Aid at Work certification for another three years, maintaining your HSE compliance.
Who Should Attend the Course in Oban?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is tailored for designated first aiders working in medium- to high-risk environments. These include sectors such as construction, manufacturing, warehouses, and large offices. The course is specifically for those seeking to update their qualifications and ensure compliance with HSE standards.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Oban
If you have a group of staff members requiring FAW requalification, arranging on-site training at your workplace in Oban could be a more efficient option. A certified trainer will conduct the full 2-day requalification course at your location, ensuring your team can refresh their skills together.
On-site training comes with several advantages:
- ✓ Flexible scheduling to suit your needs
- ✓ Tailored to address your workplace's specific risks
- ✓ Cost-effective for larger teams
