The certificate is valid for three years, and before the expiry date, first aiders will need to undertake a Paediatric First Aid Re-qualification course to obtain another 3-year certificate. Our 12-hour Paediatric First Aid course has been uniquely designed for those who are working as childcare professionals; our learners commonly include childminders, pre-school staff, teachers and support staff, and after school club workers.
