Course Overview

What is this course

In childcare, education, healthcare, and family settings, the ability to respond swiftly and effectively to paediatric emergencies is vital. Situations such as choking, sudden illness, injuries, or unresponsiveness in infants and children can occur unexpectedly and demand immediate, age-appropriate intervention to safeguard lives.

The Certified Paediatric Emergency First Aid Training Course is a foundational qualification designed to provide learners with essential knowledge, safety awareness, and practical skills in paediatric emergency care. It offers a structured pathway for those new to child-focused roles, as well as professionals seeking to enhance or formalize their expertise with a recognised certification.

Training emphasizes safe and effective response techniques, correct application of paediatric first aid procedures, and management of common child-specific emergencies. Learners also develop competence in primary and secondary assessments, while gaining a clear understanding of the legal and ethical responsibilities involved in paediatric care.
