What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification) in Paisley?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, or FAW Requalification, is a 2-day course designed for individuals whose FAW certificate is approaching its expiration. Completing this course in Paisley will enable you to extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years.
Unlike the full three-day FAW course, this refresher focuses on revisiting core first aid skills and updating your knowledge. You will also have the chance to practise essential techniques under the supervision of a qualified assessor. This course ensures you remain compliant with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements.
Eligibility & When to Book in Paisley
This 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is available exclusively for individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. It’s recommended to book your place before your certificate expires to prevent the need to complete the full 3-day First Aid at Work course again.
A 28-day grace period is granted after the certificate expires. If the certificate has been expired for longer than this period, you will be required to enrol in the full FAW course to regain your qualification.
On the first day of the course, please bring your valid or recently expired FAW certificate as proof of eligibility to attend the refresher training.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course in Paisley?
When you enrol in the FAW Refresher course in Paisley, you will revisit the full First Aid at Work syllabus to ensure your knowledge is current and your certificate remains valid. Over the course of two days, you’ll engage in practical exercises covering key skills that every workplace first aider should master.
- Assessing the scene and evaluating casualties
- Understanding first aider duties and infection control measures
- Administering CPR to adults and using an AED
- Performing the recovery position and managing seizures
- First aid techniques for choking and controlling severe bleeding
- Providing care for shock, burns, scalds, and treating minor injuries
- Managing fractures, head, chest, and spinal injuries
- Treating eye injuries and handling suspected poisoning cases
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis using auto-injectors
- Responding effectively to heart attacks, strokes, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes emergencies
Assessment & Certification for Paisley Course
Assessment for the First Aid at Work Refresher course in Paisley combines practical demonstrations, observation by the trainer, and a brief multiple-choice exam. This approach ensures you’re capable of confidently applying the refreshed skills in real-life situations.
Upon successful completion of the course, you’ll be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, which remains valid for an additional three years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
It’s easy to confuse the annual refresher with the First Aid at Work Requalification course. The annual refresher is a short, practice-based course designed to help you keep your skills sharp each year. While helpful, it doesn’t extend your qualification.
If your certificate is nearing expiry, the only way to formally renew it is by completing the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This course is the official method to extend your First Aid at Work qualification for another three years.
Who Should Attend This Course?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is aimed at designated first aiders in medium- to high-risk environments, including construction sites, manufacturing plants, warehouses, and large office spaces. It is essential for individuals who need to keep their qualifications current and ensure compliance with HSE regulations.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Paisley
If you have a group of staff needing to renew their FAW qualification, arranging on-site training at your workplace can be a more efficient option. A certified trainer can conduct the full 2-day requalification course directly at your premises, allowing your team to refresh their skills together in a familiar setting.
Choosing on-site training offers several advantages:
- ✓ Flexible scheduling options to suit your needs
- ✓ Tailored to address your specific workplace risks
- ✓ Cost-effective for larger groups
- ✓ Group training all in one session
- ✓ Reduces travel time and time away from the office

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.
