What you will learn in our six hour paediatric first aid training course?

If you work with children but do not require a 12 Hour Course, then this 1 day 6 Hour classroom course is for you. The EPFA one day course allows you to sign on to the Voluntary Ofsted register and for employees to register you for payment with childcare vouchers. If you are considering changing career you may need to complete the 12 Hour course for the Full Ofsted Register, the best option is to do the online training in conjunction with the classroom training, so you have all options covered for the next 3 years.  If you are registering as a childminder or working in a childcare setting with EYFS children you will need our full two days or one day online followed by one day in the classroom first aid course.
