First Responder Emergency Care (FREC i)
This qualification develops the knowledge and skills required by those working in security services or high risk environments who are required to hold an advanced First Aid qualification.
The qualification ensures learners are able to provide suitable assistance for a range of medical conditions and trauma related injuries including developing an awareness of ballistic and blast injuries.
The qualification supports a role in the workplace and will enable learners to progress to further learning in this sector.
This qualification has been developed to meet the competency requirements of the Faculty of Pre-hospital Care – The Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh at Level C. This meets the requirements for the Security Industry Authority (SIA) for Close Protection Officers and is also ideal for Cabin Crew, Industrial First Aiders and those working in remote areas.
This qualification is delivered in a face-to-face setting over a 4-day period. Learners should complete the qualification within 10 weeks.
We also recommend that learners refresh their knowledge annually to ensure they are up-to-date with the latest guidance.
