Qualsafe First Response Emergency Care (FREC 3) (Level 3 RQF) (5-Days)

No. If you are approaching FREC 3 expiry we strongly recommend that you upskill to FREC 4 instead of undertaking a FREC 3 refresher course. This is for a number of reasons. Firstly, unlike FREC 3, FREC 4 does not need refreshing once achieved and so you can save a substantial amount of money over the lifetime of your career. Secondly, upskilling to FREC 4 will enhance the level of medical care you can provide and so can massively increase your career prospects leading to higher paid and more advanced positions. Lastly, FREC 4 is delivered as 2 x 2-day blocks with a remaining final day as opposed to a complete 5-day block which makes it easier to complete around work and other commitments.

Not currently. We are working hard to move the theoretical aspects of this course online to reduce the number of face-to-face hours in the classroom.

Every student participating in training will be screened prior to being allowed into the venue. Screening precautions will include answering a number of simple questions in line with the latest Public Health England advice along with having their temperatures taken. As well as this, all students will be issued with a disposable face mask as well as gloves, aprons and visors if required. Alcohol sanitiser is available throughout the venue as are hand washing facilities. Students will be asked to scan an NHS test and trace barcode upon their arrival as well as leave an email address in order to be contactable if they should be advised to self-isolate.

Yes, this course is one of few that is recognised by the SIA for licensing CPOs and others within executive, close protection and security roles.

All training materials such as stationary, notebooks, textbooks, hand-outs and aides are all provided upon your arrival. In terms of attire, please wear comfortable clothing, practical footwear and limit the wearing of excessive jewellery.

If you anticipate that you have any learning difficulties/language barriers that have the potential to disadvantage you from achieving this FREC3 qualification, please inform us at the earliest available opportunity so that we are able to make reasonable adjustments for you. These can include extended time for examinations, a scribe to help you complete paperwork or an increase in guided learning hours (GLH). As well as this, we are able to offer coloured paper, overlays and rulers for dyslexic students in addition to personalised 1-2-1 support packages if required. We are also, with reasonable notice, able to provide examinations and supporting material in different languages for ESL students with language barriers.

Water, tea, coffee and biscuits are provided for each student; however, we are unable to provide lunch and so you will need to make your own lunch arrangements. We do have a kitchenette on site that contains a fridge, kettle, microwave and sink that can be used as well as local amenities such as McDonalds, Greggs, Starbucks and Esso that are within walking distance.

If you are unsuccessful in passing one of your assessments you will, in the first instance, be provided with detailed feedback from your assessor as to why the relevant assessment criteria were not met on this occasion. You will then receive a support plan with actionable steps to be taken that will enable you to prepare for a reassessment at a later date. Your reassessment date will depend on the specific qualification you are undertaking and so will be discussed on a case-by-case basis. Resits are offered to our students completely free of charge as per our MTS Passport peace of mind guarantee.
