Course overview

Complete this 12-hour course through 6 hours of e-learning followed by one 6-hour practical training day. Finish the e-learning before attending the practical session. You will need an internet-connected device to complete it.

The practical day covers the emergency paediatric first aid content face to face. The e-learning covers the additional topics for the full Paediatric First Aid qualification.

This blended format follows the full PFA training criteria in England’s current EYFS framework. Your childcare setting should confirm the qualification needed for your role.

For group bookings, we can deliver this course in-house for up to 12 learners.

We also offer the Emergency Paediatric First Aid Course.

Which Course Do I Need?

The full course combines 6 hours of e-learning with 6 hours of practical training. Emergency Paediatric First Aid is a shorter, 6-hour course covering immediate emergencies.

In England, EYFS requires full PFA cover on the premises and on outings. The separate first aid requirements for staff counted in ratios depend on their role and childcare qualifications; not every staff member is required to complete the full course. Ask your employer to check the current EYFS framework.

Ofsted does not approve first aid courses. For settings in Scotland or Wales, confirm the required training with your employer or regulator.

Brilliant First Aid Training !

I did my First Aid Training in Coventry, and my trainer (Tony) was brilliant. It seemed like everyone enjoyed the whole course. I really liked the conversations and real life examples that Tony gave us.

I would do this training again and I highly recommend to everyone and anyone with various abilities and knowledge.

Informative & engaging First Aid Training

I did the Emergency First Aid Training course with Matt Hayes and I must say that it was the best first aid course I have ever done. The course content was in depth and varied (which can sometimes make for quite a heavy learning day) but it was really easy to follow thanks to Matt's informative and engaging teaching style.

Professional

I recently completed a course with Skills Training Group and had a fantastic experience.(Emergency First Aid at Work). The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and the course was well-delivered and informative. I gained a lot of confidence and knowledge in my field thanks to the hands-on experience and excellent instruction. The facilities were top-notch, and the pace of the course was just right. I highly recommend Skills Training Group to anyone looking to further their career or learn new skills. Thank you for a great experience!

First time attending Skills Training

First time attending Skills Training Group and can honestly say the course was very well organised and all staff are professional and knowledgeable. The centre was nice and warm. I will be using STG going forward and have recommended to colleagues for their gas and electrical training requirements. Thank you!
