Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs)

What is paediatric first aid training?

Paediatric first aid training teaches people how to give basic medical care and help to babies, children, and young people if they get hurt or sick. It shows you what to do for things like choking, burns, cuts, and other common injuries that children can get.

Can you fail a paediatric first aid course online?

Yes, you can fail a paediatric first aid course. To pass the course, you need to show you understand the information and can do the practical skills.

But many courses let you take the assessment again or take the course again, so you can learn the skills you need.

What is the difference between paediatric first aid and first aid?
