What would you do

Would you know what to do if you saw an infant or Child in need of first aid?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. All of our staff work for the emergency services, this allows our training courses to be the best up to date training there can be.

About the course:

The QA Level 3 Award in Emergency Paediatric First Aid (RQF)
qualification has been designed in-line with the current Early
Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) requirements and is ideal for:

• Those who have gained a level 2 or 3 childcare qualification
and have entered into an early year setting and wish to be
included in the staff to child ratios to comply with the EYFS
requirements.
• Anyone who cares for infants and children, such as parents,
guardians, grandparents or those who have an involvement
with infants and children and want to learn key paediatric
first aid skills.
Successful candidates 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 controlling external
bleeding.

As well as schools, those working towards their Early Years educator qualification or an NVQ in childcare and education, organisations that typically require this type of training include:

• Day nurseries
• Private nursery schools
• Pre-schools
• Before and after school clubs and organisations for children in the early years age group
