Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between this Adult and Child First Aid Course and the 1-day version?
This 3-day course provides FULL First Aid at Work and FULL Paediatric First Aid qualifications.
The 1-day course provides Emergency First Aid at Work (basic) and Emergency Paediatric First Aid (basic). Choose the 3-day course if you need comprehensive workplace first aid provision or full Ofsted/EYFS compliance for childcare settings.
Do I need both qualifications?
If you work in a school, nursery, or childcare setting, yes – you need both adult workplace first aid AND paediatric first aid to meet Ofsted/EYFS requirements. This combined course is the most efficient way to achieve both.
Is this course Ofsted compliant?
Yes. The Paediatric First Aid component meets all Ofsted/EYFS requirements for childcare providers in England.
How long are the certificates valid?
Both certificates are valid for 3 years. We recommend annual refresher training to maintain skills.
Can I take just one of the qualifications?
Yes, we offer standalone First Aid at Work (3 days) and Paediatric First Aid (2 days) courses separately. However, taking the combined course saves you 2 days of training time.
What’s included in the catastrophic haemorrhage training?
Optional training in using tourniquets, haemostatic dressings, and blood loss control products. This is annotated on your certificates if completed.
How many people can attend?
Minimum 1 learner, maximum 12 learners per course with one trainer. We recommend 6-8 for optimal learning.
What should I wear?
Comfortable, practical clothing suitable for getting on and off the floor during practical scenarios. Bring photo ID for certification
