Paediatric First Aid (PFA)

Course Overview
The Paediatric First Aid training program is designed for both private individuals and professionals who work with children.
It meets the standards set by the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted GB) and is one of the most comprehensive training programs internationally. Training in the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) for children is also available as an optional component.
Participants are trained to recognize and respond to a wide range of incidents, whether life-threatening or non-life-threatening, involving children and infants.
The training focuses equally on Basic Life Support (CPR) and First Aid (management of common illnesses and injuries) for both age groups.

Upon successful completion and examination, you will directly receive the internationally recognized RTI certification.
