Course Overview

The QNUK Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid provides a regulated qualification for people responsible for babies and children in early years, education and childcare settings.

The course combines essential knowledge with practical activities and realistic scenarios. Learners develop the confidence to assess emergencies, provide CPR, manage choking and respond to a wide range of childhood illnesses and injuries until professional help arrives.

Our trainers keep the subject practical and straightforward, giving learners plenty of opportunity to practise and ask questions. The result is quality training at affordable prices that is relevant to the situations childcare professionals may face.

Early years settings: Employers should check the current Early Years Foundation Stage requirements and ensure that sufficient staff with suitable paediatric first aid training are available whenever children are present.

Who Should Attend?

Suitable for nursery and preschool staff, childminders, early years practitioners, school staff, teaching assistants, wraparound care teams, foster carers and others who require a regulated paediatric first aid qualification.
