Highfield Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (Blended 1 Day Learning)

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. All newly qualified entrants to the early years workforce who have completed a level 2 and/or level 3 qualification on or after 30 June 2016, must also have either a full PFA or an emergency PFA certificate within three months of starting work in order to be included in the required staff: child ratios.

This nationally accredited qualification meets the highest standards in training set by Ofsted and fully meets the statutory requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. This qualification also meets the requirements for accredited training as described by Millie’s Mark Foundation for settings wishing to gain this status.

The blended paediatric first aid course is in 2 parts:

Part 1 involves completing short written questions prior to the session. Each learner will recieve a copy of a first aid book and email support 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.
