Face to Face Training – 6 hours

This qualification is designed to provide learners with the practical skills, knowledge,
understanding and confidence to provide Emergency Paediatric First Aid in the workplace.

This qualification has been developed in accordance with the requirements set out by the Early
Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) for training first aiders within organisations where the need for

infants and children.

This qualification will provide knowledge around the role and responsibilities of a first aider,
assessing an incident and how to recognise signs and symptoms of injuries and illnesses.
Candidates will also be provided with the knowledge and practical competency in
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the safe and effective use of automated external
defibrillator (AED) equipment. Candidates will also gain the knowledge and practical
competency to assist casualties suffering from minor injuries and conditions such as bites, head
injuries, external bleeding, spinal injuries, shock and seizures.
