Not sure which course you need?
The emergency course does not replace the full 12-hour PFA certificate required for a setting’s designated full-PFA cover. Check your role and your setting’s requirements before choosing a course. Our two-day Paediatric First Aid course offers the broader syllabus. Discuss practical-assessment or support needs with Hannah before booking.
