 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

All content was very well taught.

There was a real emphasis on being practical and hands on especially with the CPR training and AED training.

Im confident I can apply what ive learnt today
