Qualification
This is a Regulated qualification overseen by Ofqual and meets the requirements of Ofsted and EYFS First Aid.
We will ensure that you, as an employer, have met the national standards and that training in legal terms is, suitable and sufficient.
Ofsted do not directly approve First Aid courses and to claim to run a course that is Ofsted approved is false and can carry significant ramifications for the training provider involved.
However, those looking for Ofsted-approved training should look for a course that is Regulated Qualification (RQF).
If you use a non-RQF training provider, the setting must evidence the checks they have undertaken to check the trainer is suitably qualified and hold evidence of the trainer’s qualifications and all course material.
(RQF) Qualifications meet the needs of Ofsted. The First Aid Requirements can be found in Annex A – search www.gov.uk/ and Registration requirements here.
Who is it for?

Workplace First Aid Courses are concerned with adult workers who need First Aid Training under the Health and Safety Executive and the First Aid Regulations 1981.
These courses are normally the One Day EFAW or the Three Day FAW.
Additionally, First Aid training for School staff can involve staff needing to be trained in both workplace First Aid (HSE) and Paediatric First Aid (Ofsted).
We also deliver a Combined Emergency First Aid at Work and Paediatric Course. This course is for people working in schools that require both qualifications for workplaces (HSE) and for children (Ofsted).
Course Delivery

The learner will then log in and complete the on-lone module. This covers the theory required before the practical module, for example, the aims of First Aid.
Session 1 – The on-line module allows you to study at your own speed. Videos and quizzes are included to help you as you progress through each topic.
Each learner will receive a PDF Manual (PDF) to be downloaded and kept for future reference.
Session 2 – Once the online First Aid modules of the Paediatric First Aid Training have been completed, our friendly trainer will arrive at your workplace to complete the hands-on topics of First Aid.
Course content
Session 1 – Theory… We make sure you can respond to emergencies and are safe to be a Paediatric First Aider by assessing you using multiple choice question papers and practical assessments of your First Aid skills.
Session 2 – CPR and AED, and in the safe use of Adrenaline Auto-Injectors (AAI) for anaphylaxis.
The list is not exhaustive but may form an element of your risk assessments and early years foundation stage requirements.
Anaphylaxis Training
Schools must arrange specialist anaphylaxis training for staff where a pupil in the school has been diagnosed as being at risk of anaphylaxis. The specialist training should include practical instruction in how to use the different AAI devices available. Online resources and introductory e-learning modules can be found although this is NOT a substitute for face-to-face training.
