Training is practical and scenario-based, using realistic equipment and simulated patients to develop the skills learners are likely to use in real pre-hospital care situations.
You’ll cover the primary survey, patient assessment and vital signs, catastrophic bleeding, airway management and oxygen, medical emergencies, AED use and BLS, plus communication, documentation, and handover.
FREC 3 is the recognised next step for those aiming to progress to FREC 4.

Qualification: Qualsafe Level 3 Award in First Response Emergency Care (RQF)
Duration: 5 Days
Our First Response Emergency Care (FREC 3) course is designed for anyone working or moving into pre-hospital emergency care. You’ll gain the essential skills and confidence to deal with medical emergencies, trauma, and critical incidents.
Unlike many providers, we use two experienced clinicians on every course. That means more support, more feedback, and plenty of hands-on practice. Training is scenario-based, using realistic kit and mock patients, so what you learn feels directly relevant to the real world.
What you’ll learn
Scene safety and the primary survey
Patient assessment and vital signs
Major trauma and catastrophic bleeding
Airway management and oxygen therapy
Medical emergencies (cardiac, diabetic, stroke etc.)
AED use and basic life support
Communication, documentation, and handover
Optional modules such as supraglottic airways, Penthrox, naloxone, blood glucose monitoring, and Entonox may be available for learners with evidence of operational need and clinical governance arrangements.
Who’s it for?
Close Protection Officers, security staff, Fire Service personnel, event medics, and staff in high-risk industries. No previous clinical training is required - just a willingness to get stuck into five days of practical learning.
FREC 3 is also the recognised first step on the pathway to FREC 4, which builds on this qualification with advanced skills such as airway management, trauma care, and emergency medication administration.
If you already hold an FPOS, RTACC or other similar qualifications, you might be eligible fo a 2 day FREC 3 RPL conversion course instead of undertaking the full 5 day course.
