Level 4 Certificate in First Response Emergency Care (RQF) (FREC4)

The FREC 4 course builds on the skills learned in FREC 3, advancing your knowledge and confidence in managing a wide range of medical and trauma emergencies. Aimed at those in more senior or specialist pre-hospital roles, this nationally recognised qualification covers enhanced airway management, advanced patient assessment, and major incident response. FREC 4 is ideal for medics looking to progress their careers in emergency care or move towards paramedic-level practice

FREC 4 Courses Available To Book Now

We offer both Split and Intensive courses to suit different learning styles. The split course structure allows learners a chance to complete workbooks between sessions so that all work should be complete by the end of day 5.


The intensive classroom course is better for those who wish to do the classroom sessions in one block and complete workbooks after.


Please note that candidates are required to have the equivalent of Level 2 ability in literacy. A pre-course eligibility questionnaire will be sent to any interest applicants to ensure they are able to meet the required standards.
