What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification) in Stornoway?
The First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher, often referred to as the FAW Requalification, is a 2-day course designed for individuals whose FAW certificate is approaching its expiry date. By completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Stornoway, you can extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years.
Unlike the full three-day First Aid at Work course, this refresher programme concentrates on revisiting key concepts and gives you the chance to refine essential skills with the guidance of an experienced assessor. It ensures you remain fully compliant with the latest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Eligibility & When to Book for Stornoway
This 2-day First Aid at Work refresher course is available exclusively for those who already hold a valid FAW certificate. It is recommended that you book your place before your current certificate expires to prevent having to complete the full 3-day First Aid at Work course again.
There is a 28-day grace period following the expiry of your certificate. If more than 28 days have passed, you will be required to retake the full FAW course from the beginning.
On the first day of training, you must provide 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 Stornoway, you will revisit the full First Aid at Work syllabus to ensure your skills are current and your certificate remains valid. Over the two-day course, you will practice vital skills that every first aider in the workplace should master.
- Understanding first aider duties and infection prevention
- Scene assessment and casualty evaluation
- Adult CPR and AED skills
- Placing casualties in the recovery position and managing seizures
- Responding to choking incidents and severe bleeding
- Dealing with shock, burns, scalds, and minor injuries
- Managing fractures, and injuries to the head, spine, and chest
- Providing first aid for eye injuries and suspected poisoning
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis with epinephrine auto-injectors
- Handling medical emergencies such as heart attacks, strokes, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes
Assessment & Certification in Stornoway
The First Aid at Work Refresher course in Stornoway is assessed through a combination of practical demonstrations, trainer evaluations, and a brief multiple-choice test. This approach ensures you are able to apply the refreshed skills with confidence in real-life scenarios.
Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, which will remain valid for three more years and is fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs 2-Day FAW Requalification
Many people confuse the annual refresher with the First Aid at Work Requalification. The annual refresher is a short course that allows you to practise your skills each year, but it does not extend your certification.
If your certificate is close to expiring, you will need to complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the only programme that officially renews your First Aid at Work certification for an additional three years.
Who Should Take This Course in Stornoway?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is designed for designated first aiders in workplaces with medium to high risks, including construction sites, industrial environments, warehouses, and large office buildings. It’s perfect for individuals who need to maintain their qualification and stay compliant with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.

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.
