Paediatric First Aid Training
This comprehensive two-day course is designed for individuals responsible for the welfare of children and infants. It equips participants with the essential knowledge and hands-on skills required to respond confidently to a wide range of paediatric emergencies.
It is ideal for:
- Teachers
- Childminders
- Nursery and early years staff
- Parents, carers, and anyone working with children or infants
The course meets the criteria set by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Ofsted, ensuring compliance for those working in registered childcare settings. On successful completion, participants gain an FAA Level 3 Award which is valid for 3 years.
We can deliver this training face-to-face at your site or at our Wiltshire location (for up to 12 people). We can also provide a blended learning option that combines online theory with in-person practical training.
An online Paediatric First Aid awareness course is also available to provide useful theoretical knowledge and skills. This, however, does not meet the legal requirements for those needing a full Paediatric First Aid certificate under EYFS or Ofsted guidelines.
