Paediatric First Aid Course

Paediatric First Aid

Our nationally recognised, Ofqual regulated Level 3 Paediatric First Aid qualification is the gold standard in first aid for children and babies. The 12 hour course (delivered over two days, four evenings or on Saturdays) gives learners a good understanding of a range of first aid treatments, actions in an emergency, and other medical conditions.

Who should attend?

It is also fully compliant with the 2017 Early Years Statutory Framework and Ofsted requirements, making it the qualification of choice for childcare professionals across the UK.

The course is suitable for learners aged 14 and above, but only those aged 16 or over can be awarded the level 3 qualification (younger attendees will be issued with a certificate of attendance).
