Rescue Emergency Care Level 3 (REC3) is an advanced first aid qualification designed for people working or participating in outdoor activities, including mountain and sea environments.

What Is REC3 First Aid?

It prepares you to respond confidently to:

• Serious injuries in remote locations

• Medical emergencies in the mountains

REC3 goes beyond basic first aid by focusing on prolonged casualty care in outdoor environments.
