Paediatric First Aid Training (2 days)

Our Level 2 Award in Paediatric First Aid training course is suitable for child minders, nursery, school staff and anybody who deals with children or who wants a more in depth course on paediatric first aid training for children and infants. The course meets the requirements of the Statutory Frame work for the Early Years foundation stage in regards to Paediatric Emergency First Aid training.

Why should you attend Paediatric First Aid Training?

Looking after children carries professional and moral responsibilities. Children and toddlers are more prone to accidents and illnesses and our 2 day Paediatric First Aid training course enhances the knowledge and skills of course participants in regard to their responsibilities and associated actions as Paediatric First Aiders. Click the here for a Paediatric First Aid Training course brochure.
