Course Information
Our Level 3 Paediatric First Aid (PFA) course is one of our most popular – and for good reason. Whether you’re working in childcare or caring for children at home, knowing how to respond in an emergency is essential.
This course is Ofqual-regulated, Ofsted-compliant, and meets EYFS requirements. It’s suitable for anyone caring for children from birth to puberty.
- Legal requirement: All newly qualified nursery staff and registered childminders must hold a full PFA certificate.
- Anyone left in sole charge of children must complete the full Paediatric First Aid course, not just the emergency version.
Numbers
As per guidelines, one trainer can effectively deliver Paedriatic First Aid (PFA) training for up to 12 delegates.
We offer flexible formats to suit your practice:
- Small group sessions (up to 6 delegates) – for more focused, hands-on learning.
- Full group sessions (up to 12 delegates) – maximising team training while maintaining quality.
- For larger practices, additional trainers can be arranged so every delegate receives effective instruction.

- Meets legal requirements for childcare settings
Option 2: Full Face-to-Face (2 Days In-Person)

Certification
