What Is the Paediatric First Aid Course?
The Paediatric First Aid Course in Truro is an accredited 12-hour training programme designed for anyone responsible for the well-being of babies and young children. Learners can choose to complete the course fully in person over two days or through a blended option, which combines online study at home with one full day of hands-on practical training in class.

Once you’ve successfully completed the training, you’ll be awarded a nationally recognised certificate that remains valid for three years.

- Pre-school and nursery practitioners
- Registered childminders and home-based carers
- Nannies, au pairs, and foster parents

- Initial emergency actions: assessing hazards, performing primary and secondary surveys, and knowing when and how to contact emergency services.
- Resuscitation and recovery: delivering child and baby CPR, using the recovery position, and managing seizures or unresponsiveness.
- Everyday injuries: dealing with choking, bleeding, burns, scalds, bites, stings, cuts, grazes, and nosebleeds safely and confidently.
- Medical emergencies: recognising and responding to asthma, meningitis, diabetic emergencies, severe allergic reactions (using an adrenaline auto-injector), and febrile convulsions.
- Additional risks: treating shock, fractures, head and chest injuries, and responding to electric shocks, poisoning, and extreme temperatures.
How Is the Course Delivered?

Both formats meet Ofsted and EYFS standards and result in the same recognised certification.
