FREC 3 RPL (Recognition Of Prior Learning)
Dates: Saturday 25th – Sunday 26th July 2026
Location: Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk
Awarding Body: Qualsafe Awards
Course Length: 2 days (0900–1800)
This two-day RPL route is for Firefighters, CFRs, and responders with FPOS, FROS or RTACC who need FREC 3 in place to move forward, whether that’s for FREC 4, a new role, or to stay current.
You’ll train with experienced frontline clinicians. It’s focused and practical, using real kit, mock patients and scenario work that mirrors the jobs you actually go to. No filler, no box-ticking. You’ll get hands-on, explain your decisions, and be assessed against FREC 3 standards with a high instructor to learner ratio.
By the end you’ll have consolidated what you know, filled any gaps, and earned FREC 3 so you’re ready to step up to FREC 4. We’ll give clear feedback and straightforward advice on your next steps.
