Paediatric Emergency First Aid Level 3 Award (1 day)

The Paediatric Emergency First Aid Training Level 3 Award, delivered by our sister company Caring For Care, is designed to support organisations with staff members who work closely with babies, children and young people and require first aid training. This course is an essential investment in the safety of children. This course is delivered for employer and group bookings only and is not available for individual purchase. It is suitable for staff working within organisations such as childcare settings, early years education, sports clubs and family care services where paediatric first aid training is required.

Held over one day, the Paediatric Emergency First Aid Training Level 3 Award can be delivered either face-to-face or through blending learning methods and is a trainer-led course which focuses on teaching essential, life-saving skills such as CPR, choking relief and managing unconsciousness or severe bleeding in babies and children.

This one-day emergency first aid course is ideal for parents and carers, volunteers, casual babysitters, childcare centres, sports clubs and family care services, with training focusing on immediate, emergency-only responses. This course is suitable for those who require a basic emergency qualification rather than the full paediatric first aid certificate, which is available as part of the Paediatric First Aid Training Level 3 Award (2 days).

During the course, you will cover a range of modules which focus on medical emergencies such as unconsciousness (including seizures), cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), choking, minor and major injuries, burns, poisoning, anaphylactic shock and epilepsy, asthma and diabetes.

By completing the Paediatric Emergency First Aid Training Level 3 Award, you will develop the confidence to save lives, implement your child-focused first aid skills and develop comprehensive knowledge of different medical emergencies most common in babies and children. For businesses, completing this course through its flexible delivery options ensures legal compliance, enhanced reputation, reduced liability and risk and improved staff morale.

Upon successful completion of the Paediatric Emergency First Aid Training Level 3 Award, you will receive certification which is valid for three years. You can receive either the non-accredited award – the Caring for Care Certificate – or the accredited certification – the Qualsafe Award.

The Paediatric First Aid Training Level 3 Award (2 days) programme, also valid for three years, can offer more comprehensive training, covering both emergency response and the wider management of paediatric illnesses and injuries.
