Course Description

Is this course suitable for me?

The Combined First Aid at Work and Paediatric First Aid course has been specifically designed for those who work in settings that require both First Aiders and Paediatric First Aiders, such as schools, sports clubs, or other childcare settings, and has been perfectly streamlined to avoid the duplication of topics associated with attending both the First Aid at Work and Paediatric First Aid courses separately.

Successful learners will receive two certificates:

  • Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (RQF)

  • Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (RQF)

Take a look at the HSE guidance on carrying out a first aid assessment of your business.

If you’re not sure?

We can help you to determine your workplace first aid requirements. All you need to do is complete a short questionnaire about the various areas of your business, and we’ll email you a free first aid requirements assessment instantly.

How long is the qualification valid?

This qualification is valid for 3 years although HSE guidelines state that employers should ensure their first aiders remain competent to perform their role. As such, it is strongly recommended that first aiders undertake annual refresher training to practise their skills and update their knowledge on the latest first aid procedures.

How long is the course?

The course lasts three extended days. We can deliver the course on site at your workplace or at an off site training venue.

FAQ’s

  • The The UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) states, “The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work. These Regulations apply to all workplaces including those with less than five employees and to the self-employed.”

  • The UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommends that every workplace carry a first aid kit. This is not the law. However, it is a legal responsibility to offer 'prompt attention' to injured personnel. It is thus strongly advised to follow this guidance in order to avoid breaching the law.

  • First, review the UK Health and Safety Executive's recommendations. This specifies how many first responders your organisation should have based on its size and risk level. In addition, you will need to do a risk assessment. This will include the equipment your employees utilise, the nature of their work, and any other elements that may have an influence on workplace safety.

  • Sometimes, businesses choose to invite us to their venue which means reduced course costs and less downtime for the workforce. We can also arrange suitable training facilities where training at your location is not suitable. We can run first aid courses all over Norfolk and surrounding counties such as Suffolk, Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire.
