First Response Emergency Care Level 3
We now have two courses a month for the FREC 3 qualification. The qualification is on the Regulated Qualification Framework and overseen by the Awarding Body, Qualsafe.
Employers in the Security Industry are increasingly asking for security staff to take the FREC suite of qualifications to validate their first aid skills for working in remote or austere environments. The FREC 3 can be used by any person wishing to gain a regulated qualification in first aid that gives them a solid grounding on which to build further skills. If your job involves working overseas you have the option of achieving a recognised qualification and combining this with post-course work connected to your environment. High Peak First Aid can assist you with modules from our High Peak Wilderness First Aid Expedition Leader 24hr course. For example you may be going to altitude so we give you access to our resources on altitude to develop your knowledge. For expedition leaders going on remote trips who may be taking a medical professional, there is the option to develop your post course knowledge with modules from the High Peak Wilderness First Aid Expedition Leader 40hr course,
There is the option to pay by instalments for the FREC 3 qualification and we have a First Response Emergency Care Level 4 course in September. FREC 3 is £594 inc VAT and FREC 4 is £630, however, for both courses booked, there is the option to pay by instalments and receive a discount. If you are interested in the FREC 3 please see dates on the FREC 3 page. If you would like to discuss both the FREC 3 and FREC 4, please contact nicola@highpeakfirstaid.co.uk or call 01433 621484/07931 360328.
First Response Emergency Care Level 3 (FREC 3)
Take your first aid training to the next level. Join us for First Response Emergency Care Level 3, a regulated qualification through Qualsafe. This five day qualification is challenging and includes 118 guided learning hours. Participants on the FREC 3 course in May demonstrated innovative ways to achieve the guided learning hours. At the FREC 3 and FREC 4 level there is no requirement to undertake clinical placements. Guided learning hours at FREC 3 and FREC 4 can be utilised to expand the participants knowledge in the pre-hospital setting. High Peak First Aid is here to support participants before, during and after the five days. Guided learning hours can be connected to any pre-hospital care topics so there is plenty of scope to undertake meaningful work to benefit the participant in their current or future work.
With only 6 participants on each First Response Emergency care course, the Tutor has plenty of time to engage the individuals learning style. High Peak First Aid uses a mix of video, group and individual work with an emphasis on getting into the outdoors to practice new skills.
Some participants on the May course are on track to finish their guided learning hours and join us for the FREC 4 this September. The next intakes for FREC 3 in June and July are well ahead on reading the course book. The FREC 4 will be held on September 25-29. The dates are not on the website yet as we are finalising paperwork with Qualsafe but three places are already reserved.

Eight outdoor first aid courses a month
High Peak First Aid has eight outdoor first aid courses running every month. These first aid courses for the outdoors are recognised and have been accepted by the major governing bodies for the past twenty years. These governing bodies are the British Canoeing, Mountain Training, MBCUK, MIAS and British Caving Association. For a complete list please contact us. At High Peak First Aid, we named our outdoor courses wilderness first aid back in 2001. A wilderness environment is defined as a remote location an hour from definitive medical care. These wilderness first aid courses are suitable for those who may need to perform first aid in a remote environment or under hazardous conditions.
For those who are leading groups on expeditions in remote areas, we offer modular based first aid courses. The three-day wilderness first aid course is a favourite for many universities who are sending students and lecturers on field trips. The High Peak Wilderness First Aid Modules 4 and 5 are categorised as medic assist and ensure a participant is a valuable assistant to a qualified expedition medic. The High Peak Wilderness First Aid Modules 1-5 are held once a month and include the Haemostat and Tourniquet training to comply with current guidelines for the outdoors and industry.
Training in the use of Haemostats such as Celox, the Mechanical Advantage Tourniquet (MAT Tourniquet) and Combat Application Tourniquet (CAT Tourniquet) takes place regularly at our training facility at Hope, in the Peak District. We are now providing the Haemostat and Tourniquet training every Tuesday and every Friday: courses are guaranteed to run. We can also travel out to your venue to provide training to enable participants to deal with life threatening bleeding. We have ample free parking on site and are ideally placed for public transport by train with links to Manchester and Sheffield, so within easy access of Manchester Airport.
