Paediatric First Aid Training Level 3 Award (2 days)

The Paediatric First Aid Training Level 3 Award, delivered by our sister company Caring For Care, is designed to support individuals who work with babies, children and young people and require essential first aid training to be prepared to deal with medical emergencies. If you are a childcare professional working in the childcare or education sector, activity leaders or newly qualified early years staff, this course is suitable for you.

Held over two days, this version of the Paediatric First Aid Training Level 3 Award is more comprehensive than the Paediatric Emergency First Aid Training Level 3 Award (1 day) since it covers both emergency response and the wider management of paediatric illnesses and injuries. The course is delivered in line with and meets UK Early Years Foundation Stage and Ofsted requirements, meaning it is mandatory for main carers and Ofsted-registered early years or childcare settings.

During the course, you will cover a range of key modules which cover essential life-saving first aid techniques. These include unconsciousness (including seizures), cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), choking, shock, minor and major injuries, burns, poisoning, anaphylactic shock and epilepsy, asthma and diabetes. You will learn how to spot common injuries and illnesses in children and administer CPR and use an AED, whilst dealing with urgent medical emergencies and learning how to stay calm during these situations. The Paediatric First Aid Training Level 3 Award will help you feel more prepared to manage emergencies and provide care until professional help arrives.

By completing this first aid training course, you will develop confidence and skills that are tailored to supporting children in medical emergencies, especially in areas which are vital to children, including choking, head injuries from falls, febrile seizures and allergic reactions. For businesses, completing this course means your organisation will meet legal compliance, have an enhanced reputation, reduced liability and risk, and improved staff morale and culture.

Upon successful completion of the Paediatric First Aid Training Level 3 Award (2 days), you will receive a certificate which is valid for three years. There are two certification options: the non-accredited Caring for Care certificate or the accredited Qualsafe Award.

This course is delivered for employer and group bookings only and individuals are not able to book onto this course. Sessions are limited to a maximum of 12 delegates per delivery.
