Paediatric First Aid Blended (EYFS/OFSTED) Course Summary

This blended online and face-to-face Paediatric First Aid qualification is for those who work in a childcare setting as it is been specifically designed to meet the paediatric first aid requirements in the statutory framework for the early year's foundation stage. This qualification provides learners with the opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge needed to deal with a range of paediatric first aid situations, illnesses, injuries and emergencies which can arise when looking after children.

The blended Paediatric First Aid course consists of 2 steps and is to be completed in the order detailed below:

  • Online Training -  involves completing an interactive eLearning course. The course booker will receive the online eLearning access details approximately 14 days prior to the face-to-face session. The details can be sent sooner if required however it's our recommendation the eLearning is completed within a 14 day period prior to the practical session. The eLearning can be done at the learners own pace and can be completed in more than 1 sitting as the progress is saved. The eLearning is designed to take 6 hours however this time differs depending on the learners IT skills and prior knowledge of the subject.
  • Face-to-Face Training -  is a 1-day in person course where candidates will learn, demonstrate and be assessed on all of the practical sections of the course. This is the session that will provide you with practical skills to support your new theoretical knowledge.

  • Tom's approach is fantastic constantly keeping you alert and on the ball. The detail Tom goes into, constantly going back to subjects to remind us of certain important aspects of first aid. The practical exercises reminding us of what first aid to administer in the situation. Th whole content of the course and the way it was delivered was exceptional. Thank you for a fantastic training approach helping us to learn what we need to know in the best possible way :)

  • May I express my sincere thanks in the course taken this week which I earlier today obtained my FAW. From the initial contact with yourselves the service provided was very prompt, efficient and professional without any faults, issues or hiccups which seems to be the norm these days. On to the actual course. The tutors (Brian & Mick Dennant) delivering the training was 1st class in that not only did they keep the flow going but interesting and to the point without any lethargic or boredom points that can arise in some training. They are not only a credit to First Response but also contenders for the stage should they wish a change in career direction as the humour was uplifting and consistent.

  • Thank you very much for the 2 free free first aid courses the parents found them to be very useful and were surprised how much was covered in such a short time. The delivery was amazing (parents words) and very informative. Thank you again and I look forward to working with you in the future.

  • Just had feedback from my guys who attended the First Aid Course yesterday. I have never received such good feedback from any course I have sent the guys on. They were all very impressed with the whole days course and the trainers were said to be "fantastic". This morning I was waiting for the moans and groans but it was totally the opposite and sang your praises to the highest level! A particular mention was for Laura who was apparently VERY VERY good and very impressed with the way she delivered the course. So from me, thank you for delivering what was said to be a very enjoyable and very informative course!

  • I just wanted to say an extra thank you for a really fun and informative first aid course at our school yesterday. It was very refreshing to have a day of training that was fun and active, as well as delivering exactly what was needed. Both the trainers are fantastic at their job and were professional with the right amount of humour to sustain all our interest. Having done many training courses I would say this was one of the best I have attended and as a teacher myself I know it is not often that you get good feedback!
