Choosing Between Emergency Paediatric first aid training (1 day) and Paediatric first aid training (2 days)

Paediatric First Aid Training is a full course (usually 12 hours) that covers many first aid topics for babies and children, such as CPR, choking, broken bones, and managing long-term conditions like asthma. It’s for people who work with children, like nursery staff, and meets important standards like Ofsted requirements.

Emergency Paediatric First Aid Training is a shorter course (usually 6 hours) that focuses on life-saving skills like CPR, choking, and how to help if a child is unconscious or bleeding heavily. It’s a part of the full course, meant to give essential first aid skills, often for parents or people who need basic certification.

The main difference is the amount of detail: the full course is more complete, while the emergency course focuses on the most urgent and important skills.

Choosing the right training:

  • Consider your role and job roles around children.
  • Weigh the depth of knowledge and skills you need.
  • Check if any specific qualifications are required in your field.
