2 Day Paediatric First Aid Training
Course Overview
Taking care of ill and injured children involves a special set of skills and techniques above and beyond those of the basic first aider. In just two days, the Pediatric First Aid course will teach you all you need to know about recognising and treating childhood illnesses, as well as dealing with accidents and injuries, until suitably qualified help can be sought.
The course forms an essential part of your qualification as an early years care provider.
You should choose this course to help you to qualify for registration as an early years carer, or to enhance your skills as a parent or grandparent who looks after young children.
This course will give you the knowledge and skills you need to deal confidently with a range of accidents, illnesses and emergency situations involving young children and babies.
This course is designed for you if you are actively involved in the care of babies and young children. This may be working in a formal role, such as a nursery, or taking care of your own children and grandchildren.
The course is especially suitable for you if you work in any of the following roles:
- Teacher orschool ancillary staff
- Nursery managers and staff
- Playgroup leaders and supervisors
- Local community staff and volunteers
- Registered child minders
We also offer a one-day Pediatric First Aid course, with similar content, which may be suitable for you.
What do you learn on the course?
