FIRST RESPONSE EMERGENCY CARE (FREC) Level 3 

First Response Emergency Care (Level 3 RQF) covers the full range of skills required by the HSE for first aid, and more! For those with further ambitions, it also forms the first step of a programme to become a Paramedic in 2 years.

Over a 5 day period, learners will gain the knowledge, skills and competencies needed to deal with a range of prehospital care emergencies, such as managing a patient's airway, catastrophic bleeding, management of fractures, medical emergencies and more.

Endorsed by The Faculty of Pre-Hospital Care - The Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh, and fulfilling the competencies set out in the PHEM skills framework at descriptor level D, this fantastic qualification is perfect for a range of roles in emergency care, such as Events Medical Responder, Emergency Care Support Worker and more as well as those working in high risk environments including the military, power stations, agriculture and manufacturing.

What's more, the QA Level 3 Certificate in First Response Emergency Care (RQF) also forms part of a progressive suite of prehospital care qualifications that lead to the QA Level 6 Diploma in Paramedic Practice (RQF).
