Course Dates

For our next first aid course dates, please check below. Please note: Our FPOSi courses are currently conducted over two weekends, we will usually endeavour to keep them consecutive weekends but this is not always possible.

It is likely, that we will be delivering 1-Day Emergency First Aid at Work courses on weekends going forward to assist security workers and other employees by not having to take a work day off in the week.

Paediatric First Aid 2-day level three course

This Paediatric First Aid Level 3 two day course is for persons who are working with infants and young children or those who are working towards an NVQ in Childcare and Education (teachers, au pairs/nannies and playgroup leaders).

This qualification teaches theoretical and practical aspects in First Aid techniques that are particular to infants aged 0 to 1 year, and children aged from 1 year old to the start of puberty.

Students will become accustomed to the role of the paediatric first aider and be able to assess and respond appropriately to an emergency condition, for example; a child or an infant who is unresponsive, has an airway blockage or is suffering from shock.

As you will see from the course content below, this is an extremely busy course and is as intense as the Level 3 First Aid at Work course.

We at Crisilience feel that this course justifies a 3 day attendance, whereas our Awarding Body states, “It was agreed with the First Aid Awarding Organisation Forum, Skills for Care and Development and the Sector Skills Council for the qualification that, in addition to this guidance the minimum contact hours, excluding breaks, should be a minimum period of 12 contact hours, which normally equates to a two-day programme.”

Although we strongly feel that the course should run over three days, this has not in any way impacted the cost of this course by adding the extra day, which we believe is very beneficial to the learner as the lessons will be delivered at a slower and more relaxed tempo allowing positive information retention and excellent learning outcomes. After all, the welfare and well-being of children is very important.
