NB: If sufficient interest is gained for FREUC 5 and/or L4 AAP to be delivered at our centre in Randalstown, Northern Ireland, these courses will be delivered by our partners at Iqarus International Ltd until such time as K2 International has been authorised by Qualsafe Awards to deliver these programmes.
Intended Audience
The regulated and nationally recognised Qualsafe Level 5 Diploma in First Response Emergency and Urgent Care (RQF) has been specifically designed for those within the Prehospital care sector who have a specific responsibility at work, or in voluntary and community activities to provide out-of-hospital emergency and urgent care supporting registered healthcare professionals and others and who have a valid FREC 4 certificate.
Overview
The regulated Qualsafe Level 5 Diploma in First Response Emergency and Urgent Care (RQF) (FREUC5) qualification has been reviewed in 2023 in collaboration with key stakeholders with a broad set of changes put in place to ensure the qualification reflects contemporary out-of-hospital emergency and urgent care practice.
Delivered only by Paramedics, Specialist Paramedics and/or Doctors over 20 days Monday to Friday followed by 750 hours paid placement. The course will run in 5 day increments 1 week per month. Learners may commence placement immediately even before finishing the theory element of the course.
Placement Options
K2 International has teamed up with Alliance Pioneer Group to provide paid placement (£16 to £19 per hour depending on the shift) on frontline emergency ambulances with a Paramedic or EMT mentor in the South West of England. Frontline placement is not available in Northern Ireland.APG have also generously offered to cover the accomodation costs and provide blue light training to K2I students (NB: Accommodation is not covered whilst on blue light course and learners must sign a return of service agreement if they choose to have their L3 CERAD funded) - an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to become an EMT and wants a widely recognised qualification. With this partnership our students will more than double their investment on the training course before they even qualify (assuming base rate of £16ph for 750 hours this will earn the candidate ~£12,000).
Learners can also complete placement with any provider of frontline emergency care for any organisation as an Emergency Care Assistant as long as that placement is with a qualified EMT or higher clinical grade, and is on frontline emergency ambulance.
Alternatively, candidates could choose to do their placement hours with our other partner agency - Global Medical Projects (GMP). GMP can offer frontline ambulance and emergency department placements without the need for L3 CERAD and C1 entitlement in several countries around the world. Two of our instructors have availed of their placement in Guadalajara, Mexico and can highly recommend it (NB this is at the candidates own expense and costs approximately £3, 000 not including flights and spending money - accommodation and food are provided see https://www.globalmedicalprojects.co.uk/ for more details).
All learners must complete a minimum of 750 hours clinical placement under the direct supervision of a qualified clinician. The following clinical settings and associated placement hours are approved by the awarding organisation:
Frontline Emergency Ambulance - 400 hours MINIMUM
Any frontline response provider within or acting on behalf of the NHS, MOD or a local CCG. This can be with the NHS or a private provider and can be completed in any country with a recognised healthcare governance system in place.

It is the sole responsibility of the learner to pass compliance checks with these organisations such as background check, interview, mandatory training, possession of a valid Level 3 CERAD certificate and C1 entitlement on your driving license and travel/accomodation expenses where applicable.
