Paediatric First Aid at Work Courses

We are able to blend together any of our First Aid at Work and Paediatric First Aid courses. Appropriate certification is issued where a learner has met the assessment criteria for the courses selected.

Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

 Our First Aid Industry Body-regulated and accredited Paediatric First Aid and Emergency Paediatric First Aid courses meet the criteria set by the Department of Education for people who work with children. The criteria ensures the Paediatric First Aid courses are suitable for workplaces, nurseries and childminders across the UK.

We’ll equip you with the knowledge, confidence and practical skills to respond to Paediatric First Aid needs safely and responsibly.

We can deliver our courses in the evening, at weekends as well as during a weekday. Please contact us to discuss mutually agreed delivery times and the options of face to face or online delivery of theory.

Additional details about our Paediatric First Aid courses

Here’s some additional information about both of our Paediatric First Ai courses:

  • The maximum number of learners in courses is 12 per instructor
  • Learners should be aged 16 or over on the first day of the course
  • The courses will be delivered in written and spoken English
  • We administer registration, attendance, feedback and certification digitally (i.e. via email and Microsoft Office applications)
  • We advise our learners to wear comfortable clothing that will allow them to perform tasks and assessments on the floor without restricting their movement
  • Please specify any additional support measures that members of your group require to support their participation in the course (e.g. a hearing loop, support to manage food allergies or intolerances etc). Your course tutor will need to discuss these requirements with you in greater detail at least seven days before the course start date.

Failure to disclose the need for additional support measures will result in the organisation and student taking full responsibility for any adverse outcomes that occur as a consequence of this non-disclosure, including failure to pass the course.

  • Delivery of Child and Baby CPR including  using an automated external defibrillator (AED) safely
  • Helping a choking casualty
  • Helping an unconscious casualty
  • Responding to wounds, bleeding and shock
  • Conducting a secondary survey

  • Managing anaphylaxis

We may also ask students to complete written assessments in both courses.
