Video
Course Overview
A first-aider must hold a valid qualification that is appropriate to the age group of the children in their care. Our Paediatric First Aid e-learning course offers learners the opportunity to complete the online portion of their training, which contributes towards the requirements for the Highfield Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (RQF).
The Course
This e-learning can be part of a blended learning approach, provided that at least 6 hours of training is completed face-to-face. A total of 12 hours of learning must be completed (combined with face-to-face training), and learners’ skills and knowledge are fully assessed during the in-person portion, in line with qualification requirements.
