Why Take This Paediatric First Aid Course?

Children can become unwell or injured very quickly, and small issues can grow serious without early action. Breathing difficulties, choking, high fevers, allergies, seizures, and falls can all happen in everyday environments — from home kitchens to school playgrounds. Our Paediatric First Aid Course helps you recognise warning signs, take safe steps, and provide early support while waiting for professional help.

Parents and guardians especially value this training because it provides the reassurance they want for family life. It also supports learners who may later move into more advanced paediatric first aid training or use this qualification to build confidence before stepping into childcare roles.

Some learners start with this course, while others combine it with practical workplace learning. Whatever your path, the course helps you stay prepared and confident.

Assessment

At the end of the Paediatric First Aid Course, you will complete a short online quiz. You’ll need 60% to pass, and you can retake the assessment free of charge if needed. Your certificate will be ready to download immediately, with the option to order a printed copy for your portfolio or workplace.
