Emergency Paediatric First Aid Course

Level 3 Award in Emergency Paediatric First Aid (RQF)

Our Level 3 Award in Emergency Paediatric First Aid is a nationally recognised qualification designed for those who care for infants and children and need the knowledge and skills to respond to paediatric emergencies.
