This qualification is designed to meet the requirements for people involved in the care of babies and children in Early Years settings or Childminding.
The course incorporates Paediatric First Aid at Work Level 3 qualification (Full FPA) with the additional learning modules required to meet the EYFS guidelines for forest, beach, and farm schools, as well as other environments.
This certification is valid for three years and is a recommendation by OFSTED to comply with the Early Years Foundation Stage Document.
If you have recently completed an accredited 2 day Paediatric First Aid at Work Level 3 qualification (Full PFA) there is the option to apply for the First Aid for Outdoor Schools add-on.
This is supplementary to the Full PFA and consists of four hours of supported online learning, along with formal assessment.
