Paediatric First Aid

All of our First Aid courses are approved by the First Aid Industry Body and Quality Care Academy.

Course Attendees

This course is suitable for any persons responsible for children or infants. 

Delegates must be a minimum of 14 years of age and a certificate can be offered to all, subject to assessment. A delegate cannot assume a responsibility in the workplace for children and infants until they reach the age of 16, and then it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that the delegate is suitable for the role. The certificate will expire as dated on the certificate, irrespective of age.

NOTE: Due to the practical nature of this course, it is requested that delegate’s wear suitable clothing i.e. trousers and clean footwear.

Course Background

Through a mixture of theoretical and practical work, delegates will cover a range of subjects designed for those responsible for children and infants.

This two-day FAIB level 2 course satisfies the guidelines and criteria as laid down by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and OFSTED. In order to obtain this qualification, delegates must attend both days and complete the two units of accreditation.
