FREC 3 Requalification

21hrs

£395.00 inc VAT

March/April dates have been added; more to come. The course fee reflects that we tend not to cancel on you. 

This qualification can be used as a requalification for your initial FREC 3.  In addition, it can be used as a conversion course from First Person on Scene (FPOS) Intermediate to First Response Emergency Care (FREC) 3.  To attend this conversion course over three days your FPOS I certificate needs to be in date.  If you do not have any previous qualification or an in-date FPOS I, please go to FREC 3 to see the five-day qualification.

First Response Emergency Care is a qualification on the Regulated Qualification Framework (RQF) and is therefore regulated by OFQUAL. The FREC suite of qualifications has been developed by the Awarding Body Qualsafe and clinically endorsed by the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh – Faculty of Pre-Hospital Care (FPHC).

After completing this conversion course, it is possible to move on to First Response Emergency Care (FREC) 4 without waiting three years for the course renewal.

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

This Level 3 Certificate meets the FPHC criteria for descriptor ‘D’ provider on the PHEM skills framework.  More details are here: Level 3 Certificate in First Response Emergency Care (RQF) Qualification Specification
