12 Hour Paediatric First Aid Course

This course is designed to meet the needs of anybody working with younger children and that requires a first aid qualification that meets the standards laid out in the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). This course also meets the needs of Ofsted.

Therefore it is suitable for Childminders, Nursery and School staff (dealing with Foundation Stage) and anybody who deals with children and wants a more in-depth course.

This two day (12 hour) course is delivered at your venue, by one of our healthcare professionals, most of whom carry a minimum of paramedic status. This we believe makes all the difference as students will be able to draw on the real life experiences of their instructor over the course of the training.

The session wiill cover all necessary theory, will be highly interactive and also includes lots of time for 'hands on' practical which will build confidence in the skills being learnt.
