Emergency Paediatric First Aid - FAA Level 3 (Level 6 Scotland) Award - 1 day
Level 3 Emergency Paediatric First Aid : 1 day course
Description
Level 3 Emergency Paediatric First Aid : 1 day course
This one-day Emergency Paediatric First Aid course has been designed for those who have an interest in child and infant basic life support.
If you have a professional interest, i.e. you are a child-minder or school teacher, etc, then this course partly fulfils the requirements of Ofsted and the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Ofsted and the Early Years Foundation Stage require you to have 12 hours of paediatric first aid training, so the 2-Day Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid would be required to fulfil their requirements. This 6 hour qualification also makes up the first half of the 12-hour course.
Syllabus
A range of subjects are covered including:
- Responsibilities and reporting
- Resuscitation
- Dealing with an unresponsive casualty
- Minor injuries
- Assessment of the situation
- Epilepsy
- Wounds and bleeding
- Anaphylaxia and Shock
Certification
Summative practical assessment is ongoing by the instructor, along with a written assessment. A three year Level 3 Award in Emergency Paediatric First Aid (Level 6 in Scotland) will be issued to the learner, subject to successful assessment. No external assessors are required.
Numbers
A maximum of 12 students are allowed and must be a minimum of 16 years of age and a certificate can be offered to all, subject to assessment.
Prerequisites
Due to the practical nature of the first aid assessment there are physical demands. Learners must be able to get to the floor unaided and successfully demonstrate all required elements of the practical assessment on their own, with the casualty on the floor, as in a real-life situation.
If a learner has any concerns they should contact their training provider to discuss before attending the course.
