Level 3 Paediatric First Aid – 1 day (blended option)

We are delighted to be hosting first aid courses in Beverley at the Beverley Enterprise Centre. There is plenty of free parking onsite and lunch and refreshments are included. Our first aid courses in Hull are very popular with schools and businesses and therefore book early as places are limited.

The Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (RQF) introduces the techniques, skills and decisions that will be needed by childcare practitioners. The skills and knowledge will be taught in a realistic context and we will adhere to government social distancing guidelines throughout ensuring candidates feel safe and risk of cross-infection is minimized at all times.
