Level 3 First Response Emergency Care (FREC3)

1. Online Pre-Learning

During the course, there is a lot of content to cover. We know that some prefer to have longer to process this information. Therefore, we have created an online learning course, which can be completed prior to the course. It complements the course itself, and includes things like:

• Clarification around course contents
• The human body
• Patient assessment
• Capacity and consent
• Responder equipment

The pre-course learning is available for 1 year after the date of your course.

2. Booking Call

One of the qualified trainers will get in contact to book in a call. The call includes:

• Answering any questions about the course, it’s content, or relevant topics

3. Course Pack

On the first day, you will receive a course pack, with everything you need.
