FREC 3
Course Structure
Here at XET, we do not provide courses simply to tick boxes or maximise profits. Instead, we aim to provide the highest quality of training & support. For this reason, we have separated the FREC 3 qualification into 3 component parts:-
- Pre-course study (each learner is provided with 2 manuals prior to the course)
- 35 hours of contact teaching time over a 5 days period
- Post-course CPD*
*The qualification specification states“Learners should be encouraged to do a minimum of 118 hours of self-directed study, which should include additional reading and applied practice”. To assist you in achieving this, we provide you with free access to our online student resource area, CPD template logs and can assist you in applying the skills you’ve learned to real patients (see below)
