First Aid at Work Requalification in Edinburgh

Edinburgh's economy spans Scotland's financial services heartland, a world-renowned tourism and festival sector, major universities, NHS Lothian, and growing logistics hubs around Edinburgh Airport and the M8. Choosing a local EFAW provider means your first-aid training reflects the real risks your staff face — whether that's a medical emergency in a busy Princes Street hotel, an incident at a university laboratory, or a workplace accident at a warehouse near the Gyle. Our trainers know the city and the Lothians, delivering recognised, practical courses that keep your organisation compliant and your people confident.

Our Edinburgh training centre is located at 6 Redheughs Rigg, EH12 9DQ, in the South Gyle area just west of the city centre and close to Edinburgh Airport. The nearest train station is South Gyle, a 15-minute walk away, with regular services to Edinburgh Waverley, Haymarket, and Glasgow Queen Street. Edinburgh Trams stop at Gyle Centre, an 11-minute walk from the venue, providing a direct link to the city centre and the airport. Local bus services run along Redheughs Avenue, just 6 minutes away on foot. For drivers, the venue is easily accessed from the M8 (J1), the A720 City Bypass, and the A90, with paid parking available nearby via YourParkingSpace and at the HSBC car park. Delegates travelling from Livingston, Glasgow, or Fife will find the South Gyle location particularly convenient.

Onsite first aid training in Edinburgh — workplace EFAW for your team

We run onsite first aid training across Edinburgh and the surrounding area — your venue, your team, your schedule.

Our trainers regularly deliver on-site First Aid at Work Requalification courses across Edinburgh and the Lothians — the Financial District, Edinburgh Park, Leith, Fort Kinnaird, Straiton, Livingston, Dalkeith, Musselburgh and out to Dunfermline. The 2-day requalification is the right choice for first aiders whose existing 3-day FAW certificate is approaching expiry or has recently lapsed within HSE guidance. If your certificate has expired beyond the grace period, you will need the full 3-day First Aid at Work course instead.

Book your First Aid at Work Requalification course in Edinburgh. This 2-day, 12-hour HSE-aligned refresher training is for first aiders whose existing FAW certificate is still in date or within the HSE-recommended grace period. It renews your workplace first aid qualification for another 3 years, with an annual half-day refresher recommended by HSE. Public courses run at our Edinburgh training venue, 6 Redheughs Rigg in South Gyle (EH12 9DQ), easily reached by train to South Gyle, Edinburgh Trams Gyle Centre and the M8, M9 and A720 City Bypass, and we deliver on-site group requalification training across Edinburgh including the Financial District, Edinburgh Park, Leith, Fort Kinnaird, Straiton, Livingston, Dalkeith, Musselburgh and out to Dunfermline. Learners revisit primary survey, CPR and AED use, choking, severe bleeding and shock, burns, fractures, head and spinal injuries, chest, abdominal and pelvic injuries, poisoning, anaphylaxis, asthma, diabetic emergencies, seizures and unresponsive casualty management, with continuous practical assessment and short written question papers. Once renewed, you will be First Aid at Work qualified for a further 3 years — a workplace certificate accepted by HSE, the Care Inspectorate, Education Scotland and Edinburgh-based clients across financial services, life sciences, technology and the NHS.
