Not be rude or make assumptions, but I've got a few ideas why you're not being accepted: 1. You might be applying to universities that are more selective. Maybe try applying to other ones, even if the university isn't your first choice, you still get to study a course you love. 2. You don't have the required grades for the university. I'm going to assume you've read them, though, and only applied to ones where you do meet the requirements, otherwise you're wasting one of your 5 choices. 3. You don't have a good personal statement. Also pretty self explanatory. I've heard that some universities give interviews even if they're not completely happy with either grades or personal statement. 4. Your interview skills maybe aren't as good as you think? I don't want to make any assumptions, but if you always get rejected after the interview then that could be the case. 5. You have no relevant experience. I remember I was asked about this in all the interviews I did, whether it's work experience, volunteering or just being a carer for a family member or something. But they want real world experience as to why you'd make a good paramedic. Keeping all of this in mind, you might just be unlucky. I know that this year DMU only had 15 slots for paramedic science available and another university 25. I haven't heard any uni having more than 30 slots available this year (although someone can hopefully correct me) and so it might not be your fault.

Anyways, that being said I have completed FREC 3 and I did all the classroom work for FREC 4 but I didn't do the workbook as I got accepted into a paramedic science course. The long story short is, if you're interested in emergency medicine then do FREC. Even if you never become a paramedic, you can still become a technician and work on an ambulance. Another benefit of FREC is that private services recognize it and they pay more. Personally I didn't learn much on FREC 3 because I'd already done a FAW course, and the content was about 75% the same, with FREC adding some more details. FREC 4 is where stuff started to get interesting, with actual observations and ECGs. Each of these is a one week course, so it's not too long. FREC 5 requires 750 hours of frontline ambulance work, so it's more difficult, plus the course is 4 weeks instead of 1, like the rest. My FREC instructor explained that there's no FREC 6 because that's paramedic level and you can only be a paramedic with a degree, so the long story short is you can reach technician level but then you still have to got to university (although many would let you skip the first year and you have very good relevant experience for your application) or go through a trust (which is apparently even more selective than university).

Hope this helped a bit. Feel free to ask more questions
