First Response Emergency Care (FREC) Courses
Castleford Training Solutions offer several courses that fall under the Pre-Hospital Care banner, starting with FREC 3 (First Response Emergency Care) which is the entry course to the FREC system of courses. We also offer the FREC 3 (Requalification) if you choose to resit your FREC course after three years rather than proceeding on to a FREC 4.

The objective of the qualification is to benefit learners by providing them with the knowledge and confidence to provide the initial pre-hospital care at emergency or life-threatening incidents. Learners will gain the necessary skills associated with assessment, treatment and stabilisation of patients. The purpose of the QA Level 3 Award for First Response Emergency Care (RQF) qualification is to develop the learner’s knowledge and skills in order to provide pre-hospital care to a patient pending the arrival of a clinician.
Whilst achievement of this qualification confirms learners have met both the theoretical and practical requirements, this does not imply a ‘license to practice’ – the scope of practice for which will be determined by the organisation responsible for emergency first responders.
This qualification is regulated in the UK by Ofqual and awarded by Qualsafe Awards (QA).
Whether you are looking for a FREC 3 course in Castleford, Leeds or West Yorkshire or Wigan, Manchester or Merseyside, Castleford Training Solutions can facilitate your needs. Please contact us to discuss your requirements further.
Comes complete with an e-certificate, a paper certificate and a qualification card.

The Level 4 Certificate in First Response Emergency Care (FREC 4) is a nationally recognised qualification designed for individuals advancing their careers in pre-hospital emergency care. Building on the skills acquired in FREC 3, this course equips learners with the knowledge and practical skills to manage a broader range of medical emergencies, including major incidents, paediatric care, mental health crises, and trauma management. It aligns with descriptor level E of the Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine (PHEM) skills framework and is accredited by Qualsafe Awards.
The course spans five days of classroom-based instruction, supported by self-directed study and practical assessments. We at CTS follow the Qualsafe recommended way to conduct the course with 2 days classroom followed by a couple of weeks off, then a further 2 days classroom, followed by the final classroom day a couple of weeks afterwards. We incorporate a structured series of tutorials aimed to help workbook completion well before the submission deadline.
Learners are evaluated through a combination of skills tests, workbooks, and invigilated exams. Upon successful completion, participants receive a Qualsafe Level 4 certificate, which can serve as a stepping stone toward higher qualifications like FREC 5. This makes FREC 4 a valuable credential for those seeking more autonomous roles in emergency medical services or specialist fields such as close protection and remote area response.
This qualification is regulated in the UK by Ofqual and awarded by Qualsafe Awards (QA).
