Do you work with children and are you ready should an emergency happen with a child?

With this course learners will have access to our online platform where they will learn in their own pace the theory behind first aid for children in a fully guided and interactive session where you can start and stop in your own time. You will then interact with other students in our classroom for 1 day and gain confidence to give aid to children in any situation.

Who’s it for?

The Paediatric First Aid Course has been specifically designed to meet the criteria set by the Department for Education’s EYFS Framework and is ideal for:

• Nursery School Workers
• Registered Childminders and Assistants
• After school clubs
• Primary school teachers
• Sports coaches

Newly qualified entrants to an early years setting who have completed a level 2 and/or level 3 qualification on or after June 2016, must also have either a full paediatric first aid or a emergency first aid certificate within three months of starting work.
