Paediatric First Aid (PFA)

The Paediatric First Aid course is a two-day first aid qualification that covers a range of CPR and first aid skills specifically for children and infants (babies) – because their first aid needs differ from those of adults. A blended learning version of the course is also available.

The Paediatric First Aid course is for anyone over 16 that has contact or works with, children and infants (babies). After completing an RLSS UK PFA course, candidates receive a Level 3 Paediatric First Aid qualification. 

RLSS UK’s Paediatric First Aid training is CIMSPA endorsed, which means it has been quality-assured by CIMSPA. RLSS UK is an active member of the First Aid Awarding Organisation Forum (FAAOF) whose remit is to collaborate on best practice and maintain quality to ensure the integrity and currency of regulated qualifications.
