QA Level 3 Award Combined First Aid at Work and Paediatric First Aid Course (RQF)

 

The Combined First Aid at Work and Paediatric First Aid Course is ideal
for those who work in settings that require both first aiders and paediatric first aiders, such as schools, childcare settings, sports clubs or other.

​

Combining the Qualsafe Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (RQF) and the Qualsafe Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (RQF) into 3 extended days

of classroom learning, this specially designed course minimises the number of training days required to achieve both qualifications.

Candidates will cover a range of topics needed to provide effective first aid for adults, children and infants including CPR and defibrillation, choking, stroke, head injuries, asthma and much more.
