Paediatric First Aid (Annual Refresher) (RQF) QA Level 3 Award

The Paediatric First Aid (Annual Refresher) (RQF) – QA Level 3 Award is designed to help learners refresh and update the essential first aid skills needed to confidently respond to emergencies involving babies and children. This annual refresher course ensures that childcare professionals, teachers, nursery staff, and anyone working with children maintain the knowledge and practical abilities required to deliver safe, effective, and timely first aid.

The key objective of this course is to reinforce critical life-saving techniques—such as CPR, the recovery position, managing choking, treating bleeding, and recognising serious childhood illnesses—while ensuring compliance with current RQF and QA Level 3 paediatric first aid standards. By refreshing these skills each year, learners stay competent, confident, and prepared to act in high-pressure situations.

This course also supports organisations in meeting Ofsted and EYFS best-practice recommendations for regular first aid updates. Delivered by experienced instructors, Tuppco Training provides a hands-on, engaging learning experience that strengthens practical ability and improves workplace safety for children in any care setting.

Upon successful completion of the Paediatric First Aid (Annual Refresher) (RQF) – QA Level 3 Award, learners will receive an officially recognised Qualsafe Awards (QA) Level 3 Certificate. This certificate confirms that participants have refreshed the essential knowledge and practical skills required to provide effective paediatric first aid in emergency situations.

This refresher award helps childcare professionals, school staff, nursery workers, and anyone responsible for infants and children maintain confidence and competence in life-saving techniques. The certificate demonstrates ongoing compliance with Ofsted and EYFS requirements when combined with a full Paediatric First Aid qualification.

Your Award Will Include:

• A QA Level 3 Paediatric First Aid (Annual Refresher) Certificate
• Proof of updated skills in CPR, choking management, recovery position, and emergency response
• Confirmation of continued professional development (CPD)
• Recognition from a nationally regulated awarding organisation (RQF)

Who the Award Is For

• Early years settings
• Schools and academies
• Nurseries and childcare environments
