Paeditric First Aid

First aid for children in a professional capacity or for use as a parent

First Aid for Children

This comprehensive two-day course run by John Rocks covers a wide range of Paediatric First Aid emergencies, enabling all participants to deal with emergency situations with confidence in a prompt, safe and effective way, particularly where professional medical help is not immediately available.

The 12-hour course has been developed for those who are working with children and infants. It will be of particular interest to teachers, child minders, crèche assistants, playgroup personnel and anyone else who has a responsibility for their welfare whilst in your care.

This one-day Emergency Paediatric First Aid course has been designed for those who have an interest in child and infant basic life support.

It is ideal for individuals who are responsible for children and infants, who wish to gain a nationally regulated Level 3 Award.

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