Description
Paediatric first aid must be learned hands-on, so this is a blended, face-to-face qualification delivered by our sister company, National Compliance Training (NCT). It combines self-paced e-learning theory with a practical classroom day and fully meets the EYFS requirement for paediatric first aid.
Why this course is face-to-face
The EYFS requires a full paediatric first aid qualification that includes practical assessment — CPR and choking response on infant and child mannequins — which cannot be completed online. You complete the theory as e-learning at your own pace, then attend a practical classroom day with an experienced instructor.
