​The practical elements of this course are essential as they provide you with vital hands-on experience. You must be physically able to take part in the practical parts of the course. 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.
