Our Paediatric First Aid Training Courses
Outdoor Paediatric First Aid in Devon and Cornwall
Our Outdoor Paediatric First Aid courses are designed for those working with children in remote or outdoor environments, such as forest schools, adventure education centres, or coastal activity providers. Perfect for educators and leaders across Dartmoor, Exmoor, Bodmin Moor, and the Cornish coastline, this course goes beyond classroom-based first aid to include managing incidents when help may be delayed, exposure to the elements, and prolonged casualty care.
Emergency Paediatric First Aid (1 Day)
The Emergency Paediatric First Aid course is a 1-day (6-hour) programme ideal for nursery staff, teachers, teaching assistants, and early years workers. It covers essential skills such as CPR, choking, seizures, and wound management for infants and children.
This qualification meets Ofsted and EYFS requirements and is particularly popular with smaller childcare settings or those needing a quick, effective refresher. We run Emergency Paediatric First Aid courses across Devon and Cornwall, including in Exeter, Torbay, Truro, and Plymouth.
Paediatric First Aid (2 Day / 12 Hour – Blended Option Available)
Our full 2-day (12-hour) Paediatric First Aid course provides a comprehensive qualification recognised by Ofsted, EYFS, and local authorities throughout Devon and Cornwall. It’s perfect for nursery teams, pre-schools, and childminders who need the complete training package for compliance and peace of mind.
For busy professionals, we offer a blended learning option. Complete part of the course online at your own pace, then attend a hands-on practical session at your venue or ours in Devon or Cornwall. This convenient and flexible format ensures your staff stay qualified without the need for extended time off.
Local and On-Site Paediatric First Aid Courses
We regularly deliver courses in key areas such as Exeter, Plymouth, Torbay, Newton Abbot, Truro, Newquay, Falmouth, and Penzance, and can also provide on-site training for nurseries, schools, or childcare groups anywhere in Devon or Cornwall.
