About this course

Level 3 Paediatric First Aid Course in Stourbridge. Classes run at PhemaGrace Stourbridge. This paediatric first aid qualification covers how to recognise and respond to medical emergencies involving babies and young children. It is designed for those working in early years and childcare settings, including nurseries, preschools, and home-based childcare. No specific entry requirements apply, though a minimum of Level 2 in literacy and numeracy is desirable. The course runs full-time during the day.

Who this course is for

Early Years Educators, and other job roles such as Nursery Nurse and Childminders, are highly trained professionals who play a key role in ensuring that young children learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe.

In the Early Years Educator apprenticeship, apprentices can work within a range of settings including full day care, children’s centres, preschools, reception classes and in a home setting as Childminders. They may either be working on their own or supervising others to deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) requirements set by the Government for the learning, development and care of children from birth to 5 years old.

Entry requirements

There are no specific entry requirements though a minimum of level two in literacy and numeracy or equivalent is desirable.
