About this training
12-hour Paediatric First Aid blended learning made up of an eLearning module combined with one classroom day of face-to-face training. The Paediatric First Aid course meets the needs of Ofsted and the requirements of the Statutory Framework for the Early Year's Foundation Stage (EYFS)
Delegates are each given their own unique login code to access the interactive Paediatric First Aid eLearning. Log-in is available 24/7 when it is most convenient for delegates to do the course, which minimises disruption if they are working during the day. Delegates can easily access the eLearning segment from computers, laptops and tablets. Delegates can choose to complete this module in one go or by logging in and out as they complete each element.
PLEASE NOTE: Delegates that do not complete the online portion of this course will be turned away.
Delegates must complete their eLearning before their face-to-face training. The eLearning is designed to take 6 hours; however, this time differs depending on the learner's IT skills and prior knowledge of the subject (Please allow 6 hours).
When delegates have completed the eLearning, they will attend a one-day practical and theoretical session. Classroom day sessions run from 9:30am - 4:30pm.
There is a timeframe for the start and completion date for the eLearning. HFL Education will send joining instructions 14-days before the face-to-face session. This gives all delegates ample time to complete the online part.
