First Response Emergency Care
(FREC 3) RPL
2 Days

  • First Response Emergency Care is a qualification developed by the Awarding Body Qualsafe and clinically endorsed by the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh – Faculty of Pre-Hospital Care (FPHC).

The FREC system is modular, enabling participants to progress through each level from FREC 3 to FREUC 5 if desired.

We have access to two classrooms that are permanently fully equipped with all the equipment needed to complete the training.  In addition, an immersive classroom is available. Outside, we have access to various grass and woodland with shelters to keep participants dry in wet weather.

The course fee reflects the range of dates available, certificate fee, reading material, access to our learning portal.  We will also work with lower numbers for that fee as opposed to cancelling if we do not have the full quota of six.  We regularly pick up work for FREC 3 due to cancellations from other providers.

Current courses/qualifications for entry

This two-day FREC 3 RPL qualification is for those who want to use their previous qualifications to move across to the FREC 3 pathway.  It gives people the opportunity to upskill and gives an exemption on three out of the five days of a regular FREC 3.
