Course Overview
FREC October 23-27 is full. The website Gremlin is making the first two dates green. The next FREC with places is in December.
FREC 3 comprises three mandatory units of 35 hours, not including breaks attended over 5 days. There is an additional recommended 118 hours of post-course learning. This can be achieved by pre-course reading from the course manual and post-course Continual Professional Development (CPD). High Peak First Aid will assist you with planning for the self-directed study for the First Response Emergency Care qualification. We hold direct claims status via Qualsafe for the distribution of certificates. This is awarded for consistently high feedback from participants.

Hello Nicola
Thank you so much for your email and for my certificate.
I really enjoyed my time with you last week. I learnt a great deal, which I am happy to say that I will get to demonstrate the knowledge I gained, when I join my local community first responders. I met with the area coordinator earlier today and they are taking me on – Woohoo!
Thanks again Nicola and all the very best to you.

Good afternoon, Nicola.
Have you recovered from our course and I hope you are well.
Thank you for my Certificate, I much appreciate it.
Also, as commented thanks for a great run course, in the end my grey matter actually soaked in the information. Thanks to your style of teaching and vast knowledge and experience.
I hope and look forward to attend another one of your courses in the future.
Until then, good luck and all the best.
Gareth.
