What is paediatric first aid?

A first-aider must have an appropriate first-aid qualification and the qualification must be appropriate to the ages of the children in their care.​ Our paediatric first aid e-learning course gives learners the opportunity to undertake online paediatric first-aid training which forms part of the requirements needed for learners to go onto achieve the Highfield Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (RQF).

The course

The e-learning can form part of blended learning if at least 6 hours of the training is face to face; a minimum of 12 hours of learning is provided to learners (when combined with time spent face to face) and; learners’ skills and knowledge is assessed in full during the face-to-face part of the course, in accordance with the qualification specification.

Who is it aimed at?

Anyone looking after infants and children such as carers, childminders and schools.
