Paediatric First Aid at Work (PFAW)
This in-depth course is designed for those working with babies and young children. It is suitable for Childminders, Nursery and School Staff (dealing with Foundation Stage) and anybody who deals with children and wants a more in-depth course. It covers a wide range of emergency scenarios, illnesses, and injuries affecting infants and children, in line with the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework and Ofsted registration.
Individual price: £150
Group price: from £1300 (up to 12)
How long is the course?
A standard PFAW qualification is 12 hours plus breaks. Want to reduce the amount of time away from work? Our blended PFAW is just 6 hours of face to face contact time.
Assessment & Certification
Certification is dependent on successful continuous assessment of the student, there is no final exam. (during a blended PFAW a further online assessment is undertaken) Those students who complete the course and are deemed to have reached the required standard are issued with a certificate that is valid for three years and is HSE compliant. Under the current guidelines it is strongly recommended that first aid trained staff attend a half-day update every twelve months.
