Question 1

What is the difference between this and the "Emergency Paediatric First Aid" course?

Accepted Answer

The Level 3 Award (12 hours) is more comprehensive and covers a wider range of chronic medical conditions and injuries. The Emergency version (6 hours) is typically a subset of this course and may not meet full regulatory requirements for all childcare providers.

Question 2

How is the ICTQual Level 3 Award assessed?

Accepted Answer

Assessment is a mix of practical observations by the tutor (e.g., demonstrating rescue breaths and wound dressing) and a multiple-choice examination to confirm theoretical knowledge.

Question 3

Is the certification internationally recognized?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ICTQual is a regulated awarding body. This certification is recognized globally, making it a valuable asset for those looking to work in international schools or as overseas childcare professionals.

Question 4

How long is the Paediatric First Aid certificate valid?

Accepted Answer

The qualification is valid for three years. To remain compliant with EYFS and Ofsted standards, you must complete a full requalification course before your current certificate expires.

Question 5

Are there any annual refreshers recommended?

Accepted Answer

While the certificate lasts three years, it is strongly recommended by health and safety bodies to undergo a short annual refresher to keep life-saving skills sharp and updated with the latest resuscitation guidelines.
