This 12-hour Paediatric First Aid course is a detailed, two-day training designed for anyone caring for babies and children outside of regulated childcare settings. While it mirrors the full content of the RQF-regulated course, it’s delivered under the flexible VTQ (Vocational Training Qualification) pathway — making it ideal for informal or non-registered roles.
Learners will build hands-on skills to manage a wide range of child-related emergencies, including CPR, choking, seizures, burns, allergic reactions, and unconsciousness. It’s a trusted option for families and carers who want the same level of first aid training as professionals, but without the formal compliance requirements.
This course strongly supports learning for health at home, in family care, or within community settings.
