Did you know that there is now a new vocational route to becoming a HCPC registered paramedic?

Qualsafe Awards is delighted to announce that instead of undertaking a 3 year Paramedic Science degree programme, those who wish to become a paramedic can now complete our progressive suite of vocational prehospital care qualifications as part of a HCPC approved programme in as little as 2 years!

Set to revolutionise the industry, this fantastic new route is broken down into 4 stages to allow Learners to get the career they want, at a pace to suit them:

Learners begin by completing the QA Level 3 Certificate in First Response Emergency Care (RQF), followed by the QA Level 4 Certificate in First Response Emergency Care (QCF) and then the QA Level 5 Diploma in First Response Emergency and Urgent Care (RQF) in year 1. They can then complete the 1 year QA Level 6 Diploma in Paramedic Practice (RQF), in year 2, as part of a HCPC approved programme to allow them to apply to become a HCPC paramedic.

How can I start delivering these qualifications?

With this ground-breaking new option set to be in very high demand across the UK, make sure that your Centre is set up to deliver the Level 3, 4 and 5 FREC qualifications as soon as possible. Simply call 0330 660 0899 or email info@qualsafeawards.org today to find out how to gain approval.

Training providers wishing to deliver the QA Level 6 Diploma in Paramedic Practice (RQF) will need to gain HCPC approval and must have adequate placement options and resources in place. For more information on the requirements for delivering this qualification, please email tracy.fairfax@qualsafeawards.org.
