If your teams operate in environments where serious incidents are possible, a standard first aid qualification may not give them the depth of knowledge you expect. In many situations, staff could be first on scene well before emergency services arrive, and their early actions can significantly influence outcomes.
First Response Emergency Care Level 3 training in Liverpool provides a structured, confidence‑building programme that equips your workforce to manage medical and trauma emergencies safely and effectively.
This Qualsafe Awards QA Level 3 Award in First Response Emergency Care (RQF), commonly referred to as FREC 3, is delivered at TL Training’s Ellesmere Port centre (just off Junction 8 of the M53) and can also be delivered at your site across Liverpool and throughout the UK, allowing you to choose the most convenient option for your organisation.
Who the FREC 3 Course in Liverpool Is Designed For
If your current first aid arrangements feel too limited for the risks your teams face, FREC 3 may be the next step. This qualification is ideal for staff who have a defined responsibility to provide pre‑hospital care in workplaces or community settings and require more advanced training than First Aid at Work.
Roles that commonly attend include personnel in emergency and ambulance support, event medical teams, security and law enforcement, as well as employees in high‑risk sectors throughout Liverpool.
Typical Roles That Attend FREC 3 in Liverpool
Businesses and organisations across Liverpool frequently send staff working in roles such as:
• Emergency and ambulance service support staff and event medics
• Security teams, door supervisors and close protection personnel
• Police, fire and rescue and emergency response teams
• Mountain rescue, search and rescue, coastguard and water rescue
• Staff in construction, utilities, energy and other high‑risk industries
• Military personnel and those working on hazardous sites
FREC 3 aligns with the Faculty of Pre‑Hospital Care PHEM skills framework at Level D and meets HSE requirements for First Aid at Work, giving you a single, structured programme that supports both regulatory compliance and enhanced first response capability.
What You Learn on the First Response Emergency Care Level 3 Course
When you invest five days of training time, it’s important to understand the value your staff gain. The FREC 3 course in Liverpool blends practical scenarios with clear theory, helping learners assess, treat and hand over patients in realistic situations.
Learners develop a complete approach to pre‑hospital care—from initial scene evaluation to safe handover to ambulance or advanced medical teams.
Core Assessment and Stabilisation Skills
Your responders learn how to approach and manage incidents safely, using recognised frameworks that help maintain calm decision‑making. The course includes:
• Scene assessment, dynamic risk assessment and safe approach
• Primary and secondary survey following the CABCDE structure
• Monitoring and interpreting vital signs such as pulse, breathing rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation
• Accurate recording of information and structured handovers using formats like ATMIST or SBAR
Airway, Breathing and Circulation Management
Many serious incidents involve airway issues, breathing difficulties or catastrophic bleeding. The course dedicates substantial time to:
• Manual airway management and the use of airway adjuncts (OPAs, NPAs)
• Suction and bag‑valve‑mask ventilation
• Safe administration of emergency oxygen within scope of practice
• Recognition and management of asthma, COPD flare‑ups, anaphylaxis and other respiratory problems
• Control of catastrophic bleeding using haemostatic dressings, tourniquets and direct pressure
• Recognition and early management of shock and chest injuries
Trauma Care and Major Medical Conditions
Workplaces in and around Liverpool often face a combination of trauma risks and medical emergencies. Learners explore:
• Head injuries, suspected spinal injuries and reduced consciousness
• Fractures, sprains, dislocations and soft‑tissue injuries, including safe immobilisation
• Burns, scalds, eye injuries and poisoning
• Cardiac emergencies, stroke, seizures and diabetic episodes
• Heat illness, hypothermia and other environmental conditions
Resuscitation and Safe Casualty Movement
Participants also build confidence in life‑saving resuscitation skills and safe movement of casualties when appropriate. The course includes:
• Adult, child and infant CPR
• AED use
• Management of choking for all age groups
• Principles of safe casualty handling
• Use of patient report forms and incident documentation
All skills are assessed through a combination of written tests and practical demonstrations, following the Qualsafe specification for the QA Level 3 Award in First Response Emergency Care.
