Learners gaining this qualification will know that first aid is the responsibility of everyone involved in the working environment.

This qualification meets the requirements for Paediatric First Aid outlined in the Early Years Foundation Stage.
Each learner who completes this course will be awarded UCAS points that will contribute to their progression into higher education. UCAS tariff points translate qualifications and grades into a numerical value which is then used by higher education course providers to assess whether learners have met their entry requirements. While universities will have their own entry requirements, this new points system gives learners the opportunity to generate more UCAS points to support their progression into university.
All our first aid courses fully meet the latest UK and European Resuscitation Council Guidelines as per the HSE requirements and it is the latest version laid down by the Awarding Organisations.
Please be advised that the classroom course has a minimum age requirement of 14.
