Paediatric First Aid

Course Overview

Our 12 hour paediatric first aid course is aimed at early years professionals including teachers, nursery staff, childminders and nannies. This course covers the full syllabus required by OFSTED, ESTYN and Care Inspectorate Wales for early years settings. As a regulated qualification, the course also meets the high standards required for Millie’s Mark accreditation.

Practical paediatric first aid training

We believe that first aid is a practical subject, best taught practically. That’s why our training courses include plenty of hands-on training in first aid techniques and procedures. We only use presentations to reinforce the theory behind each area of first aid, rather than as the main way of delivering our training.
