The Emergency Paediatric First Aid Level 3 (RQF) qualification is designed specifically for people who look after babies and children, including child minders, crèche leaders, nannies, au pairs, nursery and pre-school workers, teachers and teaching assistants, and sport and leisure staff.
It provides theoretical and practical training in first aid techniques that are specific to infants aged 0 to 1 and children aged from 1 to 18 years old. By undertaking this training, you are ensuring that you know what to do in a paediatric first aid situation as well as meeting the Department for Education’s requirements and the standards outlined in the EYFS Statutory Frameworks.
The accredited Emergency Paediatric First Aid course meets the requirements of the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 where applicable and is delivered in line with current HSE guidance. The course also aligns with the latest Resuscitation Council UK Guidelines, as required by the HSE.
This accredited qualification is recognised within the UCAS tariff framework and is worth 8 UCAS points for those applying to higher education.
This 1-day Emergency Paediatric First Aid course can be used as the first day of the 2-day Paediatric First Aid Level 3 (RQF) qualification. Below, you can book the blended learning option, where the practical session takes place on the same day. If you would prefer to complete the qualification as two face-to-face days, please contact us before booking so that we can arrange this for you.
