FREC 3 | 16th - 20th March 2026
Dates: Monday 16th – Friday 20th March 2026
Location: Whipps Cross, London
Awarding Body: Qualsafe Awards
Course Length: 5 days (0900–1700)
Our open FREC 3 course in Whipps Cross, London provides the recognised foundation for anyone working in pre-hospital care. It’s ideal for event medics, close protection officers, fire and security personnel, or anyone looking to step into a responder role.
Completing FREC 3 also opens the door to progressing onto FREC 4, which is the next step for those looking to develop further in pre-hospital emergency care. If you already hold qualifications such as FPOS or RTACC, or if you are a serving firefighter, community first responder, or similar, you may be eligible to complete the shorter two-day FREC 3 RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) route instead.
The course is delivered by two experienced frontline clinicians and focuses on practical, scenario-based learning. You’ll cover trauma care, medical emergencies, airway management, patient assessment, and BLS, with plenty of hands-on practice using realistic kit and simulations.
The updated FREC 3 qualification now includes one multiple-choice exam and one anatomy and physiology paper. All other assessments are practical and ongoing. Optional modules—such as supraglottic airways, Entonox, blood glucose monitoring, Penthrox, and naloxone—are available where clinical governance and operational need can be evidenced.
Requalification is required every three years.
