Qualsafe Combined Emergency FAW & Paediatric First Aid (2 Days)
The Combined Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) and Emergency Paediatric First Aid (EPFA) two-day course is a comprehensive Level 3 regulated training programme. It combines adult workplace safety with child and infant emergency care, covering CPR, AED use, choking, cuts, shock, bites, and bleeding, making it ideal for schools, nurseries, and sports clubs.
The Combined Emergency First Aid at Work and Emergency Paediatric First Aid Course is a one‑day, Ofqual‑regulated programme designed to equip learners with the essential skills needed to respond to emergency situations involving adults, children and infants.
It brings together the Emergency First Aid at Work and Emergency Paediatric First Aid qualifications into a single streamlined training day, removing duplicated content and reducing the time required to achieve both awards.
This course is ideal for schools, sports clubs and childcare settings, and gives employers confidence that they are meeting their legal responsibilities for high‑quality first aid provision. This training reduces costs and time compared to taking two separate courses, providing a complete solution for legal first aid compliance. Participants generally receive two separate certifications (EFAW and EPFA), both valid for 3 years.
