First Aid at Work & Paediatric First Aid (FAW & PFA)
Is this for you?
This is our most intense course and is designed for those working in childcare who require a FULL Paediatric First Aid qualification but also wish to obtain a FULL Adult First Aid at Work qualification.
The only reason this course is intense is because there is lots of information and exams covering adult, child and infant illness & injuries, all to learn and practice within 3 days of face-to-face learning.
By booking this course you can save £100 per person rather than booking two separate courses for FAW & PFA.
