Highfield Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (Blended 1 Day Learning) for Sports and After School Clubs

Our on-site, UK-wide Highfield Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (Blended 1 Day Learning) for Sports and After School Clubs is designed for anyone working or volunteering with children aged 5-16 years.

This comprehensive course ensures that your staff and volunteers are fully trained in all aspects of paediatric first aid.

This course is suitable for anyone who works or volunteers in youth clubs, sports clubs or any after school activity clubs.

It is crucial that anyone in contact with children and young people are fully trained in first aid and know what to do in an emergency.

What does the training include?

The blended paediatric first aid course is in 2 parts:

Part 1 involves completing short written questions prior to the session.  Each learner will receive a copy of a first aid book and email support  from a tutor to assist their understanding and completion of the questions.

Part 2 is a 8 hour face to face course where attendees will learn and demonstrate all the practical sections of the course.

The Award has 2 units which must be fully completed to gain the qualification:

The blended programme included 4 hours home study before the practical training day. You will be sent all the materials you need to complete a short workbook to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding, The training day is 09.00am-5.30pm during which your practical skills will be learned, practised and  assessed.
