Description

The FREC 3 course—short for First Response Emergency Care Level 3—is a regulated, nationally recognized pre-hospital care qualification designed for individuals who may need to provide emergency medical care before the arrival of ambulance services. The Qualsafe Level 3 Award in First Response Emergency Care (RQF) (FREC3) covers the full range of skills required by the HSE for first aid, and is the leading qualification for events cover.

This informative, hands-on course fulfils the competencies set out in the PHEM skills framework at level D, providing the practical skills needed to deal with a range of prehospital emergency care situations.

It sits on the RQF (Regulated Qualifications Framework) and is often seen as a stepping stone into emergency medical services (like paramedics), event medical work, or as an advanced first aid course for high-risk workplaces.
