Does this meet Ofsted and EYFS requirements?
Yes. The EYFS requires a full course of at least 12 hours, renewed every 3 years. This course is 12 hours.
Can the e-learning count towards the 12 hours?
Yes. Up to 6 hours can be done online first; all skills are assessed face-to-face.
Is the online Paediatric First Aid (Blended/Refresher) course a qualification?
No. It’s an online CPD course with no practical assessment, so it doesn’t replace the 3-year certificate.
