What Is the Paediatric First Aid Course?
The Paediatric First Aid Course in Wales is an accredited 12-hour training programme created for anyone who works with or looks after babies and young children. Learners can choose between a two-day classroom course or a blended option that combines online study at home with a single day of hands-on, practical training at the centre.
Throughout the course, you’ll learn how to perform CPR on infants and children, manage choking incidents, respond to everyday injuries, and handle serious medical emergencies. Once you’ve completed the training, you’ll receive a nationally recognised certificate that remains valid for three years.
✅ This Ofsted- and EYFS-approved qualification meets the legal standards required for childcare professionals in nurseries, schools, and early years settings across Wales.
Who Needs Paediatric First Aid in Wales?
Paediatric First Aid training is essential for anyone responsible for caring for babies and young children, whether at home or in a professional environment. This qualification is particularly relevant for:
- Staff working in nurseries, playgroups, and early learning centres
- Registered childminders and childcare assistants
- Teachers and teaching support staff in early years or primary education
- Professionals employed in holiday clubs or after-school activities
- Nannies, foster carers, and babysitters providing home-based care
It’s also highly recommended for parents, grandparents, and guardians in Wales who want to be prepared to handle child-related emergencies confidently.
What Will You Learn on the Course?
The Paediatric First Aid Course combines essential theory with practical, hands-on training to prepare you for real-life emergencies involving babies and young children. Over the 12-hour, two-day course, you’ll gain the knowledge and confidence to respond effectively to a wide variety of situations, such as:
- Initial response: assessing the scene safely, performing primary and secondary checks, and recognising when to call for medical assistance.
- Life-support skills: carrying out infant and child CPR, placing a casualty into the recovery position, and dealing with seizures calmly and correctly.
- Everyday incidents: treating choking, cuts, grazes, burns, scalds, bleeding, stings, bites, and nosebleeds using the correct first aid techniques.
- Serious medical conditions: managing asthma attacks, meningitis, diabetes, severe allergic reactions (including use of an adrenaline auto-injector), and febrile seizures.
- Injury and environmental risks: providing care for shock, fractures, and head, spinal, or chest injuries, as well as responding to electric shock, poisoning, and temperature-related issues.
How Is the Course Delivered?
The Paediatric First Aid Course can be completed either as a two-day classroom-based programme or through a flexible blended learning option. The classroom route involves approximately six to seven hours of face-to-face instruction each day, while the blended format allows you to complete the theory online from home before attending one practical training day in person. Both routes meet Ofsted and EYFS standards and lead to the same nationally recognised certification.
Entry Requirements
There are no formal prerequisites for joining the two-day Paediatric First Aid Course in Wales. Learners must be at least 16 years old and physically capable of taking part in all practical first aid exercises during the training.
How Is the Course Assessed?
Assessment is based on practical demonstrations, trainer observation, and a short written or verbal test. These assessment methods ensure that learners can demonstrate their skills and understanding in line with Ofsted and EYFS criteria.
Will I Get an Ofsted/EYFS-Recognised Certificate?
Yes. Upon successful completion of the training, you’ll receive an accredited Paediatric First Aid certificate that meets Ofsted and EYFS requirements and is valid for three years from the date of issue.
