FREC3 RPL

Description

FREC3 RPL Course – Recognition of Prior Learning

Course Overview

If you already hold a recognised emergency care or responder qualification, you may not need to complete the full 5-day FREC3 course.

Our 2-day FREC3 RPL pathway is designed for learners with existing qualifications such as FPOS, CFR, IEC or RTACC.

Rather than repeating previous learning, this route recognises your prior training and focuses on the additional learning, assessments and competencies required to achieve FREC3.

You will complete the same final assessments as full-course learners, including theory, anatomy and physiology, and practical scenario-based assessments.

Delivered by DAC Education, training is practical, realistic and led by experienced instructors — a fast, professional route to gaining your qualification.
