Course Information

Having a good understanding of Emergency Paediatric First Aid is incredibly important for the safety of children and it could mean the difference between life and death.

Our Emergency Paediatric First Aid Level 3 course is perfect for:

• Parents or family members who want to learn key paediatric first aid skills
• Those who work with children and are not required to comply with Ofsted’s Childcare Register or EYFS requirements
• Those who want to provide additional support in their organisation to the paediatric first aiders that are trained to meet EYFS or Ofsted Childcare Register requirements

**This course only partly meets both Ofsted and the Early Years Framework requirements. If you need a Paediatric First Aid course to fully meet both Ofsted and the Early Years Framework requirements, you will need to consider one of our 12 hour courses, either our Blended Learning Paediatric First Aid Course or our Paediatric First Aid Course (12 hours) | 2 day Face to Face**

This is a 6 hour course which we generally run over 1 day or can be bolted onto a First Aid at Work or an Emergency First Aid at Work course. Successful delegates will learn the roles and responsibilities of the emergency paediatric first aider, and will be equipped with the skills needed to deal with a range of paediatric first aid situations, such as performing CPR and dealing with wounds and bleeding.

Upon successful completion, attendees will be awarded a nationally recognised Ofqual regulated certificate valid for 3 years that partly meets Ofsted requirements and will receive a Paediatric First Aid handbook to keep for future reference. Attendees of this course will also have exclusive free access to our GEM First Aid annual refresher video training, presented by our GEM trainers, each year until certificate renewal is needed in 3 years’ time.
