FIRST AID L3 (VTQ)- EPFA

Course Outline


This is the latest version and is the entry-level Paediatric First Aid course and forms unit 1 of the full Paediatric first aid course.


In many situations, if you are registering as a childminder or working in a childcare setting you will need a full two days or one day online followed by one day in the classroom first aid course.


On completing this course you can then complete the unit 2 course and receive the full Paediatric First Aid Award at ProTrainings.
