Having recently completed my FREC 3 re-qualification with Toby Osbourne at Optimal First Aid; I can sincerely say. ​Three years ago, when I first completed FREC 3 with a different provider, the mindset was strictly transactional, it was treated as a box-ticking exercise just to secure the licence required for my field. ​Fast forward to today, and my perspective has completely shifted. FREC 3 isn't just about maintaining a licence to operate; it’s about honing a vital skill set. Toby and the team at Optimal First Aid reinforced this from day one. ​Within just two days of training, I felt more competent, confident, and current in my scope of practice than I have in the last three years. ​Same qualification, but a completely different level of delivery: ​Realistic Scenarios: The practical exercises are as close to real-life operations as it gets. ​Exceptional Instruction: The level of knowledge and teaching standard is truly commendable. ​Exceptional equipment: Fully operational, kit, required for first responders. ​Realistic Props: Immersive scenario setups, reinforceing the realities of operational environments. ​Toby and Optimal First Aid have completely transformed my approach. FREC 3 isn't a means to an end, when taught correctly, it ensures operators are mentally and physically prepared to handle real emergencies effectively. A massive thank you Toby, and I will definitely be back for subsequent training. I can wholeheartedly reccomend Toby, and Optimal First Aid to anyone looking to excel as a Responder.

Really enjoyed completing my FREC 3 course with Optimal First Aid. The instructors were knowledgeable, friendly and made the whole course enjoyable while still keeping it professional and challenging. There was a good mix of theory and hands-on training, and everything was explained clearly with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and practise the skills. I came away feeling much more confident in dealing with different situations. Would definitely recommend Optimal First Aid to anyone looking to complete their FREC 3.
