Paediatric

The Department for Education has published new rules on the provision of first aid for infants and children in early years settings (EYFS).

In response, we have developed a new one-day training course, Emergency Paediatric First Aid, in addition to our existing two-day Paediatric First Aid course. Under the new rules, all newly-qualified early years staff who have completed a level 2 or 3 qualification on or after 30 June 2016 must gain either a full or emergency Paediatric first aid certificate within 3 months of starting work. The rules also specify critical ratios of children to qualified first aiders.

Our standards comply with the 2017 Ofsted EYFS Framework

Blended Paediatric First Aid

We are delighted to offer you an excellent alternative to two days in the classroom. This is a popular choice for Schools and Childminders and complies with all the necessary EYFS requirements.

Part 1 involves completing our interactive e-learning module and can be done any time before you attend the training day. You will be sent a link to the e-learning module when you book this course.

Part 2 is a one-day face to face training day where you will learn and demonstrate all the practical sections of the course.

The e-learning module will take up to 6 hours to complete online plus one day face to face training (7 hours including breaks).

Open courses are usually from 09.30-16.30.

On-site training is available anytime.
