About this course

What the Paediatric First Aid course covers

You take Paediatric First Aid online, at your own pace, without booking a place on anything. Budget roughly 115 minutes for the 9 modules, less if the subject is already familiar. Nothing expires part way through, so an interrupted evening costs you nothing.

What it covers: Introduction to Paediatric First Aid, Planning and Preparation, Essential First Aid Knowledge and Skills and Basic Life Support. There are 5 further modules beyond those, listed in full on the Modules tab.

The provider grades it intermediate, so it moves through the fundamentals quickly rather than teaching them. We list 14 First Aid & Emergency courses, of which 3 sit at Intermediate. At this length it is one of the quicker ones in the subject. CPD accreditation is included, so the training evidences itself for an appraisal or an inspection.

The honest caveats: It is not an awareness course: if the subject is completely new to you, something introductory will be better value.

Buyer guide

Is this the right course for you?

Best fit

Paediatric First Aid is a sensible shortlist choice when you want a structured route through the published syllabus rather than a general overview of the whole subject. Its 9-module plan starts with Introduction to Paediatric First Aid and Planning and Preparation, which gives you a clear indication of the assumed starting point. That shape is likely to be most useful for appointed first aiders, and staff who want to be useful in an emergency whose training need matches those topics. It is a weaker fit if you only need one isolated skill, or if an employer has specified a different standard, awarding body or practical assessment. Before buying, compare that requirement with the final modules on Minor Injuries and First Aid Documentation and First Aid Kits as well as the course title.

How to use the syllabus

Treat the module list as a study plan, not just a contents page. Begin with Introduction to Paediatric First Aid and Planning and Preparation and note any terms or processes you need to revisit. Around the middle, Fractures and Head Injuries acts as a useful checkpoint: if you can explain that material without looking back, move on; if not, repeat the preceding section before adding more. The later work on Minor Injuries and First Aid Documentation and First Aid Kits is where you can test whether the earlier ideas connect. After each block, write a short example from your own work or a realistic scenario. That simple retrieval step makes self-paced learning more useful than clicking straight through to completion.

Check before enrolling

The listed study time is 115 minutes; reserve more time if the subject is new to you or you plan to make detailed notes. No fixed access period is stated in the validated course facts; ask us before enrolling if a deadline matters to your plans. A downloadable or printable completion certificate is described, but it records course completion rather than replacing a regulated qualification. The course carries a CPD accreditation reference; still check that your employer or professional body accepts this exact course for the purpose you have in mind.

Course Description

First aid covers a multitude of skill sets and responses to many medical situations. Its primary aim is to provide immediate medical care and treatment that will either resolve the situation (in less serious ‘everyday’ cases) or provide an essential short-term emergency stop-gap until professional medical assistance is in place.

The aim of this course is to equip you with the theoretical knowledge, skills and confidence you need to deal with paediatric first aid situations. It covers all of the key topics including: emergency planning, assessing a situation, basic Life Support, CPR, shock, fractures, bleeding and a range of other minor illness and injuries.

Please be aware that having a theoretical knowledge on its own is not enough to be considered competent in paediatric first aid and a practical demonstration in some areas is required to complete this training. Please contact us to arrange this.
