What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, or FAW Requalification, is a two-day course designed for those whose FAW certificate is nearing expiration. By completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Pitlochry, you’ll extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for another three years, ensuring continued certification and compliance.
Unlike the comprehensive three-day programme, this refresher course focuses on revisiting key knowledge areas and giving you the chance to practice vital first aid techniques, all under the supervision of an experienced assessor. It ensures you remain fully compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Eligibility & When to Book
This two-day First Aid at Work refresher course is designed exclusively for individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. It's important to secure your booking before your certificate expires to avoid the need to complete the full three-day FAW course.
A 28-day grace period is available after your certificate expires. However, if your certification lapses beyond this period, you will be required to retake the full First Aid at Work course from the beginning.
On the first day of training, you’ll need to bring along proof of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate to attend the course.
What Will You Refresh/Practice During the Course?
During the FAW Requalification in Pitlochry, you will revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus. This will ensure your skills remain current and your certificate stays valid. Over the course of two days, you'll practice vital first aid techniques needed in any workplace setting.
- Roles and responsibilities of a first aider and infection control
- Conducting scene surveys and casualty assessments
- Adult CPR and AED practice
- Placing casualties in the recovery position and managing seizures
- First aid for choking and severe bleeding
- Treating shock, burns, scalds, and minor injuries
- Managing fractures, head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Dealing with eye injuries and suspected poisoning
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis with the use of auto-injectors
- Responding to medical emergencies such as heart attacks, strokes, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes
Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher in Pitlochry is evaluated through a combination of practical demonstrations, direct trainer observation, and a brief multiple-choice assessment. This approach ensures that you are fully capable of applying the refreshed skills in real-life situations.
Upon completing the course, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for another three years, and fully accredited by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
Many people confuse the annual refresher with the First Aid at Work Requalification course. The annual refresher is a short session designed to help you practice your skills. While beneficial, it does not extend your certificate.
To renew your certification, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only course that officially extends your First Aid at Work qualification for an additional 3 years.
Who Is the Course For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is intended for appointed first aiders in medium- to high-risk environments such as construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large offices. It is tailored for individuals who need to maintain an up-to-date qualification and stay compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines.
On-Site First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Pitlochry
If you have multiple employees requiring FAW requalification, arranging on-site training at your workplace may be the most convenient option. A certified trainer can deliver the full 2-day requalification course directly at your premises, allowing your team to refresh their skills collectively.
Choosing on-site training comes with several advantages:
- ✓ Flexible scheduling to suit your needs
- ✓ Tailored to the specific risks of your workplace
- ✓ Cost-efficient for larger groups
- ✓ Training for your whole team in one session
- ✓ Reduced travel and time off-site

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
