Who Should Attend
This course is designed for people working with and caring for young children.
This course does not meet the Ofsted Early Years and Childcare Registration requirements. These requirements specify that at the least one person who has a current full paediatric first aid certificate must be on the premises and available at all times when children are presents and must accompany children on outings. Childminders, and any assistant who might be in sole charge of children for any period of time, must hold a current full paediatric first aid certificate. Candidates completing this course can only be counted as supplemental to the 12-hour course.
Please see our 12-hour course if this doesn’t meet your requirements.
Candidates require a basic command of English (level 2) for ease of communication between tutor and candidate.
If an interrupter is needed for signing or to translate, this can be arranged at an additional cost with 14 days prior notice.
