Level 3 Award in Emergency Paediatric First Aid

This one-day Emergency Paediatric First Aid course has been designed for those interested in child and infant basic life support.

Course Summary

This one-day Emergency Paediatric First Aid course has been designed for those interested in child and infant basic life support. If you have a professional interest, i.e. you are a child-minder or school teacher, etc., then this course partially fulfils the requirements of Ofsted and the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Ofsted and the Early Years Foundation Stage require you to have 12 hours of paediatric first aid training, so the 2-Day Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid would be required to fulfil their requirements. This 6 hour qualification also makes up the first half of the 12-hour course and mainly covers the catastrophic/ serious First Aid procedures within an ‘Emergency’ relating to children.
