FAA Level 3 Award in Emergency Paediatric First AID (QCF)

This one-day Emergency Paediatric First Aid course has been designed for those who have an interest in child and infant basic life support.

If you have a professional interest i.e. you are a child minder or school teacher etc, then this course partly fulfils the requirements of the Ofsted and the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).  Ofsted and the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) requires you to have 12 hours of paediatric first aid training, so the 2-day Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid would be required to fulfil their requirements. This 6 hour qualification also makes up the first half of the 12 hour course

Assessment is ongoing by the instructor, plus some pre-course activity could be required. No previous first aid experience is required.

Students must be a minimum of 16 years of age to qualify

Topics covered include:

• The role of the first-aider including reference to available equipment, prevention of cross-infection and the need for recording incidents and actions. Assessments of the situation and the casualty.
• Accident procedure enabling the first-aider to act safely, promptly and effectively in an emergency.
• How to deal with an unconscious casualty (including seizures and infantile convulsions).
