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. Course content includes: - Responsibilities and reporting - Resuscitation - Dealing with an unresponsive casualty - Minor injuries - Assessment of the situation - Epilepsy - Wounds and bleeding - Anaphylaxis and Shock Assessment & certification: The qualification is assessed both through practical demonstration and oral questioning. A learner must successfully pass a practical assessment to achieve the qualification. There is no grading of the assessment; learners pass or are referred.

The learner will need to complete the full course again to requalify for a further three years.
