7 hours elearning and 1-day face-to-face Combined Paediatric First Aid and Emergency First Aid at Work Blended - Course Overview
The blended Combined Paediatric First Aid and Emergency First Aid at Work course allows learners to achieve the full Paediatric First Aid and Emergency First Aid at Work qualifications, by completing an interactive eLearning module followed by a 1-day face-to-face practical training session.
Who Is This Course For?
This combined course is ideal for individuals who work in childcare or early years settings and also require recognised workplace first aider certification. It is particularly suited to nursery staff, childminders, teaching assistants, and school support staff, as well as anyone responsible for first aid provision in a workplace environment.
Completing both qualifications together helps learners develop the confidence to respond to emergencies involving infants, children, and adults. It also provides a convenient training route for those working across childcare, education, and workplace environments.
Course Structure & What to Expect:
The Combined Paediatric First Aid and Emergency First Aid at Work course is delivered through a blended learning approach, completed in two simple steps. Both stages must be completed in the order outlined below.
Step 1: Interactive eLearning (Approx. 7 Hours)
Before attending the practical session, learners must complete an interactive online eLearning course.

- We recommend completing the eLearning within 14 days prior to the practical session
- The course can be completed at your own pace, in one or multiple sittings, progress is automatically saved
