UKREMT Grades
Associate Registrants.
A – First Aider EFAW or FAW that is certificated by an organisation that does not have an approved accreditation.
B – Accredited & certificated First Aider – Holds FAW, FPOS(B), D13 standard or similar.
** Please note holding an FAW with a AED certificate does NOT make you an Advanced First Aider in the eyes of the UKREMT and others in the wider industry.
C – Advanced First Aider – Holds FPOS(I), FREC L3, D13 Standard/Module 3 police officer with skills that match the framework at level C.
*** Note: If you only hold an FPOS(I) or FREC L3 alone you are NOT a Full Member or an EMT – if you hold these qualifications along with a suitable CV, CPD and extended skills / THAT have a 100% match to the FPHC PHEM Skills Framework then you may be eligible to register as a full member with the UKREMT at level D.
Levels D to G will be operating within a framework of governance and CPD and will be required to submit CPD portfolios every two years either via CPDME, Tibbee, CPD Portfolios or via any approved CPD submission method to remain registered.
All full registrants must agree to and sign the “UKREMT Fitness to Practice Policy” to remain on the register. Level H will require the registrant to remain on their respective professional register.

The UKREMT have taken the FPHC PHEM skills framework and adapted it within its outlines to ensure an easier understanding of our grading framework for the public to ensure they have the right staff on site for events and for private providers to understand their staff capabilities.
It is hoped that the UKREMT framework and the registration scheme will be adopted by multi agency pre-hospital providers including the NHS and the private sector for all those staff that are not registered with the HCPC, NMC, BMC, however those practitioners can still also register should they wish with the UKREMT.
The UKREMT framework is ideal to ensure CPD compliance and registration for all levels of pre-hospital practitioners.
Grade Descriptors
* To be recognised at any level the practitioner must have ALL the skills at that level, according to the skills framework.
* Practitioners at any level may have additional skills from higher levels but this does not mean that they are operating at that level.
* Practitioners may indeed have a qualification for a level but not actually have the full skill base and thus be operating at a lower grade. i.e. CMT1 retired now at grade C, D or E but whilst serving may have been at grade F.
Grade A to C are eligible for Associate Registrant.
FREUC Level 5, IHCD Ambulance Aid & APP Students, must have done a minimum of 750 clinical hours, Trainee’s will be given the grade below their FREC/FREUC Level, until the clinical hours have been completed.
