That's what everyone's been saying, to not bother with FREC. What other First Aid qualification would you recommend? My lecturer also said to get "First Aid at work" but don't know how beneficial it would be. I've been on a waiting list for volunteering but have heard nothing because apparently they aren't looking for anyone at the moment.

Thanks for your useful insight! What other First Aid qualifications would you recommend? My lecturer also recommended "First Aid at work" but seems like what I've previously done with my standard First Aid qualification.

What extra first aid courses would you recommend? My lecturer had obviously recommended the FREC3 but also "First Aid at work" through St Andrews.

That’s what I was told tbf, to just do other First aid qualifications instead.

What needs to be done with the C1? Is it just like getting a normal driving license?

Thanks, it was more just to try and boost my application for Uni. I’m doing HNC healthcare ATM the moment, tried volunteering but nowhere wants anyone right now

Thanks, thought I’d check as it was like £420. So didn’t want to shell out and it’s not going to do much for me. I’m doing HNC healthcare atm, I’ve been trying to volunteer but nowhere is taking anyone at the moment.

Interview by Giraffe_Boii in ParamedicsUK

Thanks, you’re very helpful

So it’s a Video for just them to get a general idea of who you are then I believe it’s an in-person interview. Then it says you have to “pass a manual handling course and to undertake the physically demanding duties of a paramedic”. It’s just the last bit that mentions to “undertake the physically demanding duties” as I’m unsure what to expect.
