Ambulance Rescue is proud to announce the launch of our new High Dependency Ambulance Operations training programme, delivered in partnership with Elite Academy and Elite Qualifications & Awards (EQA).
We are now offering the EQA Level 3 Award, EQA Level 3 Certificate, and EQA Level 4 Award in High Dependency Ambulance Operations.
These qualifications bring together over a decade of real-world experience in high dependency ambulance operations, delivered by experienced instructors who actively understand the demands of modern patient transport services. The result is a specialist, purpose-built qualification for professionals undertaking high dependency ambulance transfers as part of commissioned patient transport contracts.
Modern UK practice has moved on. Simply placing a FREC 4-qualified clinician on a vehicle and designating it as “HDU” is no longer acceptable. This programme has been designed to meet the expectations of patients, providers, commissioners, and regulators, ensuring safe, effective, and clinically appropriate care.
The tiered structure of the qualification allows organisations to raise standards progressively, ensuring regulatory compliance while delivering enhanced patient care across services.
Courses are also priced to remain accessible, allowing individual clinicians to self-fund training as part of their continuing professional development (CPD).

📍 Open-access courses will commence in Northamptonshire from 1 March 2026, with courses running monthly thereafter.
