WHAT IS 'CLASSIC' LEARNING?
This learning style is entirely classroom based and requires you to attend in person with a group of peers. This benefits those who prefer interactive sessions with the opportunity to ask questions to the instructor.

The First Responder Emergency Care course is a higher qualification than a standard first aid at work course, and therefore previous first aid experience or training is highly recommended before completing the FREC qualification.

• Delegates must be aged 18 or older to attend this course.
• Delegates need a basic command of English (defined as Level 2).
• Delegates must complete all modules.
• Delegates must act in a professional and appropriate manner, in line with our HEART values.
• You need to be physically fit enough to be able to demonstrate CPR*

*If you need any reasonable adjustments to be in place for your course, we will do all we can to facilitate, please advise ahead of you course by contacting our Customer Services team.
