Accredited Paediatric First Aid Training Course (Level 3 RQF) – Blended Learning

The Health and Safety Regulations 1981 requires employers to provide suitable First Aid equipment, facilities and personnel to enable first aid to be given to employees if they become injured or ill at work.

* Six hours of online training are completed before a day of face-to-face training either on-site or at our training centre.

Our first aid qualifications are accredited by an OFQUAL recognised organisation – QUALSAFE – that meet OFSTED requirements.

The Paediatric first aid at work two-day course is a level 3 RQF award.

The qualification is designed for people who have a specific responsibility at work, or in voluntary and community activities, to provide First Aid to children (including babies) when dealing with an emergency situation such as Teachers, au pairs and playgroup leaders, looking after young children.

The course covers the basics of First Aid but with the emphasis on younger children and meets Ofsted requirements for registered child-minders and nannies under the Approved Carers Scheme.

The course is practical as well as theoretically based and once the courses are completed our students are assessed continually in their practical sessions, with additional Multiple Choice question papers.

If successful, they will become recognised first aiders with a Qualsafe approved certificate valid for three years.

All of our Qualsafe First Aid courses take a maximum of 12 students, each of whom receives a First Aid manual, certification and registration as well as gaining the knowledge and confidence to become a competent first aider.

Paediatric Training Package

It’s essential that adequate provision for first aid cover is made at all times people are at work. Employers need to ensure there is cover for annual leave and other planned absences of first-aiders or appointed persons. They should also consider what cover is needed for unplanned and exceptional absences such as sick leave or special leave due to bereavement.
