Corporate FREC 3 Training

Give your staff the practical first responder skills to provide emergency care when every minute matters.

Does Your Team Know What to Do Before the Ambulance Arrives?

In a serious incident, waiting for an ambulance is only part of the picture. Someone on scene may need to assess the patient, control major bleeding, manage an airway or begin CPR before professional medical help gets there.

That’s where the right training makes a real difference.

Our Corporate FREC 3 Training is designed for people who may have to provide emergency care in demanding environments. It’s suited to security teams, event medics, close protection officers and others working in roles where medical emergencies can happen without much warning.

This goes well beyond basic first aid. The focus is on first responder emergency care practical skills, sound judgement and knowing what to do next.

FREC 3 can be particularly useful for teams working in higher-risk environments where first response skills matter. Businesses looking to build several security capabilities can explore our wider corporate SIA training programme, while individuals can find the full qualification in our FREC 3 (First Responder Emergency Care) course. 

The five-day course covers a broad range of pre-hospital emergency care skills, including:

• Scene safety and patient assessment
• Primary and secondary surveys
• Airway management and oxygen therapy
• Basic life support, CPR and AED use
• Catastrophic bleeding control, including tourniquets and haemostatic dressings
• Major trauma, including fractures, burns and spinal injuries
• Medical emergencies such as heart attacks, strokes, asthma, diabetes and seizures

There’s a lot to learn. But the training is built around applying that knowledge rather than simply remembering it.

FREC 3 is intended for people whose work may put them close to serious incidents or who have a specific responsibility for providing emergency care. It can be particularly relevant to:

• Security professionals
• Close protection officers
• Event medics
• First responders
• Event and venue teams
• Personnel working in high-risk environments
• Organisations that need stronger emergency medical capability within their workforce

If you’re looking for a first response emergency care level 3 course for a team, this qualification can provide a more advanced level of pre-hospital care than standard workplace first aid.

The useful part of FREC 3 is knowing how to assess a situation and act appropriately when things aren’t straightforward. By completing the course, learners can develop the ability to:

• Assess patients systematically
• Recognise life-threatening conditions
• Provide immediate emergency care
• Manage major bleeding and trauma
• Support patients with serious medical emergencies
• Use CPR, AEDs and appropriate emergency equipment
• Provide care while awaiting further medical assistance

That can be particularly valuable for organisations where staff may be first on scene.

The full FREC 3 course runs for five days.

Successful learners receive the Qualsafe First Response Emergency Care Level 3 qualification, which is valid for three years. FREC 3 can also form part of a wider development pathway towards further emergency care qualifications, including FREC 4.

For businesses, Corporate FREC 3 Training can be arranged as part of a broader staff development programme, helping you build emergency response capability within your own team.

Basic first aid has its place. Some working environments, however, call for more.

FREC 3 gives suitable staff training in a wider range of pre-hospital emergency care situations, from catastrophic bleeding and major trauma to serious medical emergencies. That makes it particularly relevant to security and event teams who may be working where immediate access to medical services isn’t guaranteed.

K4 Training can help businesses organise FREC 3 training around their workforce and operational requirements.
