Pre-Hospital Care

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. Another course that falls under the Pre-Hospital group of courses is our Immediate Life Support (ILS) course, which is very popular with those needing a annual ILS certifiace to keep their FREC 4 certificate valid. We are also developing a range of CPD courses, the first one being our Understanding ECGs course, there will be more to come in the future.

  • 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.

    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.
