What Is the Paediatric First Aid Course?
The Paediatric First Aid Course in Northern Ireland is a thorough 12-hour training program aimed at individuals who care for or work with young children and infants. You can choose to complete the course in a traditional classroom environment over two days or select the blended learning option, which combines home-based study with a full day of hands-on, practical training.
This course provides you with essential first aid skills, including how to respond to choking, perform CPR on children and infants, manage common medical conditions, and treat everyday injuries. Upon successful completion, participants will receive a nationally recognised certificate, valid for three years, that demonstrates their competence in paediatric first aid.
✅ This course fully adheres to Northern Ireland's child safety standards, ensuring compliance for professionals working in early years settings such as nurseries, schools, and childminders.
