Blended Paediatric First Aid Course UK – Flexible Online & Practical Training
If you care for children and need first aid training, but can’t commit to two full days in a row – this course is for you. Our Blended Paediatric First Aid Course UK combines online learning with one day of hands-on, practical training. You’ll study the theory in your own time, then join us in person to build your skills and confidence.
It’s flexible, recognised, and made to fit around your life.
Who Should Take This Course?
This course is ideal for:
- Childminders and nursery staff
- Early years and school professionals
- Foster carers and after-school providers
- Parents and guardians
- Anyone who needs an EYFS-compliant paediatric first aid certificate
If you need a 12-hour course for work or registration, this one meets that requirement – with less time away from your job or home.
