If you work in security, construction, event medical cover, remote operations, or any role where advanced first aid skills are essential, our FREC 3 course in London delivers the nationally recognised qualification you need.
Optimal First Aid provides high‑impact, scenario‑based training designed for real‑world emergencies — not classroom theory.

Onsite training:
This is the most convenient and cost‑effective way to qualify your team with the Level 3 First Response Emergency Care (RQF) certification without sending staff off‑site.
Who this FREC 3 Course is for
Our London FREC 3 programme is ideal for professionals who operate in high‑risk, fast‑paced, or remote environments. It’s a perfect fit for security operatives, including those working toward SIA licence pathways (see the official SIA licensing requirements), as well as close protection professionals who require a recognised medical qualification to support their operational role.
The course is also well‑suited to construction workers and those in other high‑risk industries, where advanced first aid capability is essential for maintaining safe working practices. For those working under UK safety legislation, the HSE First Aid at Work guidance provides useful context on employer responsibilities.
We regularly train event medics and stewarding teams, ensuring they have the skills to manage trauma and medical emergencies in crowded or dynamic settings. For those working in events, the industry‑standard Purple Guide offers further insight into safe event management.
It’s equally valuable for remote and lone workers, who may need to manage incidents without immediate backup, and for film, TV, and production crews, where on‑set safety demands competent first responders. Outdoor instructors and adventure leaders also benefit greatly from the practical, scenario‑driven approach, especially when working in challenging environments.
