TQUK Level 3 Paediatric First Aid

(12 Hours)

  • This accredited qualification provides theoretical and practical training in First Aid techniques Specific to infants, children and adolescents.

    Learners will know the role of the paediatric first aider and be able to assess and react appropriately to an emergency situation.

    This qualification consists of two units and is provided over a period of 2 days. Our Paediatric courses meet the latest learning outcomes given by protrainings which are set by the TQUK.

    The Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage is a document published by The Department for Children, Schools and Families and applies to Early Years childcare within England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The Statutory Framework states that ‘at least one person who has a current paediatric first aid certificate must be on the premises at all times when children are present. There must be at least one person on outings who has a current paediatric first aid certificate.’

    The TQUK Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (RQF) is recognised as a qualification that fulfils this need.

    All successful students will be issued with a Paediatric First Aid Certificate.

    The childcare sector dictates, that to be valid when working in the childcare sector, learners must retake the Paediatric First Aid qualification before the expiry of 3 years from the date that the original qualification was achieved.
