What Is the First Aid at Work Refresher (Requalification)?
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. By completing this First Aid at Work Refresher Course in Stranraer, you can extend your Level 3 FAW qualification for an additional three years.
In contrast to the full three-day course, this refresher focuses on reinforcing your knowledge and offers you the chance to practise key skills with an assessor’s guidance. It ensures you remain fully compliant with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
Eligibility & When to Book
This 2-day First Aid at Work refresher course is available exclusively to individuals who currently hold a valid FAW certificate. It’s advisable to book your spot before your existing qualification expires to prevent the need to retake the full 3-day First Aid at Work course.
You have a 28-day grace period after your certificate expires. If it has been more than 28 days, you will need to enrol in the full FAW course to renew your qualification.
To attend the course, please bring a copy of your valid or recently expired FAW certificate with you on the first day of training.
What Will You Refresh/Practise During the Course?
By participating in the FAW Requalification course in Stranraer, you will revisit the entire First Aid at Work syllabus, ensuring your knowledge is up to date and your certificate remains valid. Over the two days, you'll practice the core skills essential for any workplace first aider.
- Understanding the responsibilities of a first aider and infection control measures
- Conducting scene surveys and casualty assessments
- Adult CPR techniques and using an AED
- Recovery position and seizure management
- First aid for choking and severe bleeding
- Treating shock, burns, scalds, and other minor injuries
- Managing fractures, head, spinal, and chest injuries
- Care for eye injuries and suspected poisoning
- Recognising and treating anaphylaxis with auto-injectors
- Responding to heart attacks, strokes, epilepsy, asthma, and diabetes
Assessment & Certification
The First Aid at Work Refresher course in Stranraer is assessed through a combination of practical demonstrations, trainer observation, and a brief multiple-choice exam. This ensures that you can effectively apply the skills you’ve revisited during the training.
Upon successful completion, you will receive a renewed Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for another three years and fully recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Annual Refresher vs This 2-Day FAW Requalification
The annual refresher and the First Aid at Work Requalification are often confused. The annual refresher is a brief course designed to help you practice your skills each year, but it does not renew your certification.
If your certificate is nearing expiration, you must complete the 2-day FAW Refresher (Requalification) course. This is the official course that renews your First Aid at Work qualification for an additional three years.
Who Is the Course For?
This 2-day FAW Refresher course is tailored for designated first aiders in medium- to high-risk environments, such as construction sites, factories, warehouses, and large offices. It’s aimed at those who need to keep their qualifications up to date and ensure compliance with HSE regulations.

On-site training provides several advantages:
- ✓ Flexible scheduling options

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.
