FREC is the qualification most UK first responders, event medics and ambulance service staff hold. This app covers both levels: FREC 3, the Level 3 Award in First Response Emergency Care, across its three components plus the anatomy and physiology underneath them; and FREC 4, the Level 4 Certificate, across patient assessment, emergency trauma care, focused emergency and urgent care, and ECG rhythm recognition. Each level has its own question pool and its own timed mock test, and every answer carries an explanation and the source it came from.

What the app does

  • Both levels in one app — FREC 3 and FREC 4, each with its own question pool
  • ECG rhythm strip recognition, with the strip shown on the question itself
  • A full anatomy and physiology topic, not just clinical procedure
  • A separate timed mock test for each level, 40 questions in 60 minutes like the FREC 3 paper
  • Every answer explained and sourced
  • Flash cards and voice-over in a British English voice
  • Works offline, and syncs progress across your devices

The 2 levels

Each level has its own question pool and its own timed mock test. Nothing is shared between them, so revising for one never means wading through another.

Every explanation in the bank cites its source. These are the documents and texts it works from — guidance changes, so always check the current published version rather than relying on a revision app for a figure you will act on.
