Not again! Lockdown 3. Frec 3 Blended Learning. New Dates

The blended learning for First Response Emergency Care (FREC 3) is going well. As we are now on another lockdown we have more dates for the FREC 3 Theory by Zoom with a Tutor. You will be able to complete the two full dates practical on-site when safe to attend:  we will have more guidance on this on 6th January.

The chart gives you an overview on dates and you can either send an email with your preferred dates to info@highpeakfirstaid.co.uk and we will organise payment with you.  Alternatively you can book here

Another lockdown on the way? Our FREC 3 promise.

We have been providing our blended FREC 3 courses over the past few months. This consists of 10 x 2hr Modules via Zoom for theory with a Tutor.  The theory is a mix of videos, quizzes and discussions followed by two days on-site for practical work and assessments. We have completed a number of courses this way now and it is a great way to get started.  Theory is theory and has to be done and far better if your own home, with a cup of tea and snacks than sat in a classroom wearing a mask.

The other bonus is that if you live more than a daily drive away from our centre in the Peak District, you only have two days of accommodation to pay for. COVID restrictions and lockdowns change rapidly, so at least you get the theory done at home and if you cannot make the two days on-site for practicals and assessments we move you to the next date. You have twenty weeks to complete the FREC 3. We promise to leave nobody behind, so if you start with us we will ensure you complete the training.

Below is an overview of the January dates. More will be added for February onwards. If you cannot make our advertised dates, please email as we can accommodate you. The next two dates on-site are January 23-24 and February 13-14.

If you need to spread the cost, each module is £59.40 and when all ten are paid for this also includes your two days on-site.

You can book each module here

Alternatively, please email info@highpeakfirstaid.co.uk with your dates and we will send over our bank details. We are not closing over the holidays so all emails are replied to every day and evening.

Additional FREC 3 dates

Blended learning for FREC 3 has been going ahead over the last couple of weeks. It has received positive feedback. Participants have stated they appreciate the pre-course preparation on our learning portal and the short, tutor-led sessions. They also appreciate having the opportunity to receive the module material on the learning portal. So, in effect, there are three opportunities to cover the information. We make our own videos, so they are relevant and to the point. We also use other media, such as YouTube, where appropriate.

You can spread the modules out over a number of weeks. I have put an overview of the additional and new dates below. Each module is £59.40. You pay for them all at once. Alternatively, if needed, you can pay as you go to spread the cost. The cost of the two days on-site for the practicals and assessments is already paid for within the 10 x 2hr theory modules.

We have to do theory as part of FREC 3. Under the current situation, staying at home and meeting others via your PC and learning is a great option.

You can see the table below to check against your diary. Bookings and more explanations are here

FREC 3 Guaranteed Dates

Flexible FREC 3 Training Available Now

Lockdown 2 has arrived, but we are still delivering courses and continuing to support learners. If you have time available, this is the perfect opportunity to begin your First Response Emergency Care (FREC 3) qualification using our flexible modular format.

Study in a Way That Fits Your Routine

We now run FREC 3 through blended learning. Qualsafe, the awarding body, approves this approach and allows us to deliver theory modules virtually. You will join live, tutor-led sessions from your own device at home. Once you complete all the theory modules, you will attend two practical days on-site at our Peak District training centre. These in-person sessions will be scheduled when it is safe to attend.

You have up to 20 weeks to complete the full qualification, giving you the flexibility to plan your learning around work and other commitments.

Choose Your Own Schedule

The course is divided into ten live modules, each lasting two hours. These bite-sized sessions cover the full FREC 3 theory in a manageable way.

You can:

  • Book and pay for all ten modules in advance
  • Or pay as you go, choosing modules based on your availability

Once you have completed and paid for all ten modules, we will include your two practical on-site training days at no extra cost.

Learn with Support at Every Stage

When you book, we provide access to our online learning portal, which helps you prepare before each session. After every module, you can log back in to review the content and reinforce your understanding.

To support different learning styles, we also include:

  • Flashcards
  • Interactive games
  • Short videos

Whether you prefer written content, visual explanations, or hands-on activities, you will find a learning method that works for you. While we were initially cautious about blended learning, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Learners enjoy the flexible format and the focused pace of shorter sessions.

Available Seven Days a Week

We offer FREC 3 modules every day from 08:00 to 21:00. If you work shifts or live overseas, we are happy to arrange alternative times that suit your schedule. Just ask.
