What Makes Our Training Different
We do things differently to most providers. You’ll be taught by two experienced clinicians, not one so there's more time for questions, practice, and hands-on learning. We keep things realistic, using proper kit, mock patients, and scenarios that reflect the kinds of jobs you’ll actually go to.
We don’t believe in death by PowerPoint or box-ticking. Our focus is on making sure you leave confident, competent, and ready for the real world.
What's Changed?
The FREC 3 qualification has recently been updated. There’s now just one multiple-choice exam and one anatomy & physiology paper. All other assessment is practical and ongoing. The course remains scenario-based, hands-on, and delivered by active clinicians using realistic kit.
Course Content
You’ll cover:
Scene safety and primary survey
Patient assessment and vital signs
Major trauma and catastrophic bleeding
Airway management and oxygen
Medical emergencies (cardiac, diabetic, stroke etc.)

All training is delivered by experienced Paramedics, EMTs, and frontline responders.
Optional Add-Ons
Additional modules may be available on request:
Supraglottic airway insertion
Penthrox (methoxyflurane) use
Naloxone (IN/IM)
Blood glucose monitoring
Entonox administration
These can only be delivered if the individual or organisation booking training provides evidence of:
A genuine operational need
Clinical governance arrangements to support the skills in practice
Let us know at the time of booking if this applies—we’ll talk you through what’s needed.
Who Should Attend
This course is ideal for:
Close Protection Officers
Security and Fire Service personnel
Event medics
High-risk industry staff
Anyone entering or progressing in a pre-hospital care role
No previous clinical training is needed, but you should be prepared for five full-on days of hands-on learning.
Requalification
FREC 3 requal is required every 3 years:
If you can show evidence of regular BLS updates, the requal is now 2 days
If not, it remains 3 days
You’ll need to send us your existing certificate and any BLS evidence in advance. If your certificate has expired, you’ll need to retake the full 5-day course.
Booking
Spaces are limited and London courses fill up quickly. Get in touch to book or find out more—we’re happy to advise on requal options, evidence requirements, or suitability for optional modules.
