Paediatric First Aid 12 hrs (1 classroom day and on line learning)

Location: Riverside Training Company Holborn Training Rooms

COVID-19 UPDATE 23/3/2020: The face-to-face classroom training day (the Paediatric First Aid practical day), where it is necessary to attend in person, has been temporarily suspended. We will monitor the situation closely and operate within Government guidelines. If you book a classroom training day and we are unable to deliver the session (in line with a Government directive), we will move you to the next available date of your choosing when the session will be delivered. Please watch for further updates.

Event notes:

This accredited full paediatric first aid course suitable for both the Ofsted Compulsory and Voluntary registers is taught by blended learning. Learners are each given their own unique login code to access 6 hours interactive paediatric first aid training. Log in is available 24/7 when it’s most convenient for learners to do the course which minimises disruption if you are working during the day. The E-Learning segment can be easily accessed from computers, laptops and tablets. Students can choose to complete this module in one go or by logging in and out as they complete each segment.

When learners have completed this module they will attend a one-day practical session on one of our classroom dates in our Holborn Training room (a short walk from the tube station). Rest assured that by choosing Riverside Cares to deliver your training, you will always be taught by a highly experienced trainer whose aim is to ensure you know what to do should a medical accident or emergency occur.

You must complete your eLearning prior to your classroom day. If you are not sure which classroom date you require, you may complete your eLearning module first and then book your classroom date. Please contact us for more information.

Riverside Cares has been delivering training and have been early years recruitment specialists since 1989.

QNUK Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (RFQ)

1-day training in your setting (6 hrs or 2x 3 hrs) preceded by completing a self-guided E-Learning module accessible via the internet with special log-in and full support supplied by Riverside Cares
Teaching dates available throughout the year
This course complies with both the Ofsted voluntary and compulsory registration requirements
Fully certificated for 3 years
Suitable for early years settings, child-minders, creches, schools and anyone who wishes to equip themselves with this vital knowledge
Idea course for staff undertaking the responsibilities associated with being a First Aider in an early years setting.
Excellent choice for Early Years practitioners who require a Paediatric First Aid qualification which meets the requirements of the EYFS.

Attendees will be required to demonstrate first aid procedures as they would in a real work environment, for example providing CPR to a casualty on the floor

Department of Education legislation requires all newly qualified level two and three childcarers in Early Years settings to have either an emergency paediatric first aid or full paediatric first aid certificate. Riverside Cares offers both courses.

Early Years settings are legally required to have on site at all times at least one person with a valid full 12-hour paediatric first aid certificate the person needs to be available on site and when the setting accompanies children on trips.

Booking this course: Contact Riverside Cares Team via this link

Please note that candidates between the age of 14-16 years can undertake the qualification, however, they should not be relied upon by employers to be a sole first aider.

Attendees will be required to demonstrate first aid procedures as they would in a real work environment, for example providing CPR to a casualty on the floor
