​Pre-requisites

 

​The practical elements of this course are essential, as they provide you with vital hands-on experience. It is important that you are physically able to take part in the practical parts of the course. 

 

​In line with Ofsted Early Years and Childcare Register requirements, at least one person who has a current full paediatric first aid certificate must always be on the premises and available when children are present and must accompany children on outings. Childminders and any assistant who might be in sole charge of the children for any period must hold a current full paediatric first aid certificate.

 

Details of the two-day full paediatric first aid course are also available.

 

​You are required to attend the full duration of the course, and candidates need a basic command of English (defined as Level 2) to be eligible for evaluation and qualify for a Child Care First Aid certificate.

On-Site Training Room Requirement

 

​It is recommended that the room size should be approximately 20 x 30 feet for a full 12-person course. The room should be large enough to seat all candidates comfortably in a semicircle formation. The floor space in the centre should be clean and uncluttered, as this will be used for the practical parts of the course. The trainer will also require a flip chart, if one is available.
