Best for Training’s on-site, UK-wide Highfield Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (Blended 1 Day Learning) is for professional child carers including pre-school, nursery and reception year teachers and childminders caring for children under 8.

Ofsted requires that all settings must have at least one Early Years practitioner with a full Paediatric First Aid (PFA) certificate.

The blended paediatric first aid course is in 2 parts:

Part 1 each learner will receive a copy of a first aid book and email support from a tutor, if required, to assist their understanding in preparation for the face to face training day where the knowledge will be assessed.

Marie Johnson Setting Deputy MANAGER Northend Nursery – 24th August 2018:

The course was very informative. First Aid trainer Garry was very good he gave real examples how to deal with casualties within our society i.e. stem bleeding knife wound etc.
He keep it fun but stressed the importance to act to preserve life in an emergency, remain calm.
Videos we watched were meaningful and the staff felt that it was one of the best courses they had attended.
