Why This Course?

Childcare Providers: Our Paediatric first aid course is designed to meet the stringent requirements of Ofsted and the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Tailored for childcare professionals and children's activity providers, this comprehensive program equips you with essential skills and knowledge needed to work in the early years setting. Upon successful completion, you'll receive a certificate valid for three years, ensuring you stay up-to-date with best practices and regulations in the field of child care. All newly qualified entrants to the early years workforce who have completed a level 2 and/or level 3 qualification on or after 30 June 2016, must also have either a full PFA or an emergency PFA certificate within three months of starting work in order to be included in the required staff:child ratios at level 2 or level 3 in an early years setting.

Employees who work with children: HSE First Aid Regulations 1981 do not require employers to provide first aid for anyone other than their own employees. However, many organisations, such as schools, places of entertainment, fairgrounds and shops, provide a service for others and it is strongly recommended that employers include non-employees in their assessment of first-aid needs and make provision for them.

Parents and Family: This course equips family members with the knowledge and skills to create a safe and nurturing environment at home, enhancing their ability to support children's growth and well being. This course enables family members to them to respond to any paediatric emergencies that commonly occur throughout childhood.
