Paediatric First Aid Course in Sutton Coldfield

About the Paediatric First Aid Course

The Paediatric First Aid Course in Sutton Coldfield is an accredited 12-hour qualification created for anyone who works with or looks after babies and young children. You can complete the training entirely in person over two days, or opt for a blended route that includes online learning from home paired with one day of practical classroom training.

Throughout the course, learners develop essential first aid skills, including infant and child CPR, managing choking incidents, handling everyday injuries, and responding to serious medical emergencies. After completing all assessments, participants receive a nationally recognised certificate, valid for three years.

Who Should Take the Paediatric First Aid Course in Sutton Coldfield?

The Paediatric First Aid Course is ideal for anyone responsible for the care and well-being of young children. It’s particularly beneficial for:

• Childminders registered with Ofsted
• Nursery practitioners and pre-school assistants
• Teachers and teaching assistants working in early years or primary education
• Nannies, babysitters, and foster carers
• Staff in after-school or holiday activity clubs

It’s also a great choice for parents and family members who wish to be prepared for unexpected emergencies at home.

What Will You Learn During the Course?

This paediatric first aid training provides a balance of theory and hands-on practice, helping learners respond effectively to emergencies involving infants and children. Over the 12-hour (2-day) course, you’ll gain essential skills and confidence to manage the following situations:

• Resuscitation and recovery: learning child and baby CPR, managing seizures, and positioning casualties safely in the recovery position.
• Initial response and assessment: performing scene checks, carrying out primary and secondary surveys, and knowing when professional medical help is needed.
• Everyday incidents: treating burns, cuts, grazes, nosebleeds, and other minor injuries like bites, stings, and splinters.
• Serious conditions: recognising and managing asthma, meningitis, diabetic episodes, allergic reactions (including EpiPen use), and febrile convulsions.
• Major emergencies: handling shock, fractures, head and spinal injuries, and dealing with electric shocks, poisoning, and extreme temperatures.

Course Delivery Options

The Paediatric First Aid Course can be undertaken either as a two-day in-person programme, typically lasting six to seven hours each day, or through a blended learning approach. With the blended option, participants complete the theory and online modules at home before attending a single day of practical classroom training. Both delivery methods satisfy Ofsted and EYFS standards and result in the same nationally recognised certificate.
