What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification) in Peterhead?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, also known as the FAW Requalification, is a 2-day course for individuals whose FAW certification is approaching expiry. Completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Peterhead allows you to extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years.
Unlike the comprehensive three-day course, the refresher programme focuses on revising key concepts and gives you the chance to refine your skills through hands-on practice under the supervision of a qualified assessor. This ensures you remain fully compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements.
Eligibility & When to Book for the Refresher Course in Peterhead
This 2-day First Aid at Work Refresher course is specifically for individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. It’s best to book your spot before your certificate expires to avoid the need to complete the full 3-day First Aid at Work course again.
If your certificate has expired, you have a 28-day grace period to take the refresher course. Beyond this period, you will be required to retake the entire FAW course.
On the first day of training, you’ll need to present proof of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate to attend the course.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course in Peterhead?
When you enrol in the FAW Refresher course in Peterhead, you will revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus. This ensures your knowledge is refreshed and your certification remains valid. Throughout the two days, you will rehearse the vital skills that every workplace first aider needs to know.
- Understanding first aider roles and infection prevention
- Scene safety assessments and casualty evaluation
- Adult CPR and AED technique practice
- Proper positioning for recovery and seizure handling
- Managing choking and severe bleeding emergencies
- Treatment for shock, burns, scalds, and minor injuries
- Care for fractures, head, spine, and chest injuries
- Eye injury treatment and suspected poisoning management
- Identifying and treating anaphylactic reactions with auto-injectors
- Responding to heart attacks, strokes, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes
Assessment & Certification for the Refresher Course in Peterhead
The assessment for the First Aid at Work Refresher in Peterhead combines practical exercises, trainer observations, and a brief multiple-choice exam. This comprehensive approach ensures you’re fully equipped to apply the skills you’ve refreshed during the course.
Upon successful completion, you’ll be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for three more years and fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification in Peterhead
The annual refresher course is often confused with the First Aid at Work Requalification. While the annual refresher is a brief course to practice your skills, it does not renew your certificate.
If your FAW certificate is nearing expiration, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This course is the only one that formally renews your First Aid at Work certification for an additional three years.
Who Should Take This Course in Peterhead?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is intended for designated first aiders working in medium to high-risk environments such as construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large office settings. It is specifically designed for individuals who need to renew their qualification and remain compliant with HSE guidelines.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Peterhead
If you have multiple staff members who need to renew their FAW qualifications, organising on-site training at your workplace in Peterhead could be a more convenient solution. An accredited trainer can conduct the full 2-day requalification course on your premises, allowing your team to refresh their skills collectively.
On-site training provides several 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.
I just completed the First Aid at Work refresher course and I'm glad it went efficiently and in a friendly way. Thanks
