FPOSi Course Cornwall – Level 3 First Person on Scene (International)

Advanced Pre‑Hospital Care Training Delivered Across Cornwall

FPOSi Course Cornwall – Level 3 First Person on Scene (International)

Cornwall’s coastal, rural and remote landscapes create unique challenges for emergency response. Long travel distances, isolated work locations and high‑risk industries mean that being first on scene often requires more than standard first aid. Our FPOSi course in Cornwall provides advanced pre‑hospital care skills for security teams, CP operatives, maritime workers, event staff and anyone who may need to manage a serious medical emergency before professional help arrives.

Training is delivered locally across Cornwall, with realistic scenarios shaped around the environments your teams operate in.

For full qualification details, visit our Level 3 Award for the First Person on Scene (International) page.

We run regular open FPOSi courses at our Newton Abbot training venue in Devon. Many learners from Cornwall choose this location due to its easy access from the A38 and A30. On‑site delivery across Cornwall is also available for group bookings.
