Paediatric First Aid

This Level 3 Paediatric First Aid course is particularly aimed at colleagues working with children under 18. It is suitable for au pairs, nannies, childminders, nursery and pre-school staff, sport and leisure staff, crèche leaders, parents, and anyone responsible for the welfare of children. This paediatric first aid course is recognised by OFSTED and includes the requirements of the appointed person in the workplace. It is a thorough course, and takes 2 days covering major injuries, child-specific illnesses and common childhood medical conditions, equipping the learner to be confident and capable of dealing with any medical emergency in your setting. There are plenty of practical elements to the course and a short, paper-based test is completed at the end.

How long is the First Aid Course?

Course duration: 2 Day course (12 hours). You can split this course over a number of twilight sessions by arrangement. 

 

How much does the First Aid at Work Course Cost?
