frequently asked questions
What types of training courses do you offer?
We offer a wide range of clinical and non-clinical training, including FREC 3, FREC 4, FREUC 5, blue light driving (CERAD), teaching, assessing & IQA qualifications and CPD sessions. These courses support progression from first responder to advanced clinician or trainer and assessor.
Do you offer training packages or just standalone courses?
We offer both. Our training packages combine key qualifications (e.g., FREC 3, FREC 4 and blue light driving) for those aiming to become Emergency Care Assistants or Technicians. View all of our training packages here.
Can you provide doctors and advanced care practitioners on site?
Yes. We can deploy HCPC-registered paramedics, nurses, doctors, and advanced care practitioners as needed. These clinicians are trained in pre-hospital emergency care and can manage critical incidents on-site.
Who delivers the pre-hospital care training?
Our courses are led by experienced clinical educators, including practicing paramedics, technicians and advanced clinicians. You’re learning from people actively working on the front lines, who bring real-world experience into the classroom.
Where does the training take place?
Our training centre, located at our headquarters in Nottingham, includes three dedicated classrooms and outdoor space for scenario-based learning. We also have realistic setups using vehicles, training mannequins and simulated casualty scenes to prepare learners for real emergencies.
Can I train to become an instructor through the Academy?
Yes. Many of our clinicians take the AET and CAVA courses to become certified instructors and assessors. This allows them to teach and assess others on qualifications like FREC 3 and 4, helping to grow the next generation of responders.
