Paediatric First Aid Course in Birmingham

Birmingham is the UK's second city and a national transport interchange — sitting at the meeting point of the M5, M6, M42 and M40 with three mainline stations (New Street, Snow Hill, Moor Street). Training your team locally at the British Red Cross Eastside Rooms (B7 4BL) keeps travel short whether delegates are coming in from the city centre, the M42 corridor, Solihull or the Black Country, and removes the cost and disruption of sending staff out to London or Manchester. The venue is a 9-minute walk from Curzon Street and one stop on the West Midlands Metro from Snow Hill.

The British Red Cross Eastside Rooms (Woodcock Street, B7 4BL) is a 9-minute walk from Curzon Street, around 12 minutes from Birmingham New Street and Moor Street, and one Metro stop from Snow Hill. By car it is 5 minutes from the A38(M) Aston Expressway and easily reached from the M6 (Junction 6, Spaghetti Junction) and the M42. Aston University pay-and-display is one minute away and several NCP and Q-Park sites sit within a 5-minute walk.

Onsite first aid training in Birmingham — workplace EFAW for your team

We run onsite first aid training across Birmingham and the surrounding area — your venue, your team, your schedule.

On-site Paediatric First Aid delivery is available across Brindleyplace, the Colmore Business District, Digbeth, the Jewellery Quarter, the Mailbox, Edgbaston, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital campus, Aston, Birmingham Business Park, Longbridge, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, Walsall, Dudley, West Bromwich, Wolverhampton and Coventry — a fit for West Midlands nursery groups, primary schools and academy trusts, breakfast and after-school clubs, holiday-camp providers, larger childminder networks and corporate crèches. A closed on-site group is the most efficient route when 6 or more of your team need to renew their EYFS paediatric first aid certificate together.

Our 2-day Birmingham Paediatric First Aid course covers the full 12-hour syllabus for working with infants (under 1) and children (1 to puberty) and issues a certificate valid for 3 years. It is built around the paediatric first aid requirements set out in the EYFS Statutory Framework, so a nominated first aider can use it to evidence the qualification needed by Ofsted-registered nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across the West Midlands. Public dates run from our central Birmingham venue with easy reach from the Colmore Business District, Brindleyplace and the Mailbox via New Street, Moor Street and Snow Hill stations, plus the M5, M6 and M42 for travel from Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, Walsall, Dudley, West Bromwich, Wolverhampton and Coventry. We also deliver on-site closed groups directly at your setting — city-centre nurseries, school sites across Edgbaston, Aston, Longbridge and Solihull, breakfast and after-school clubs, holiday-camp bases and corporate crèches at Birmingham Business Park — useful when a setting is opening, when several staff certificates expire together, or when you're training a whole team in one go. Sessions are taught by paediatric-experienced instructors using realistic infant and child manikins, with practical scenarios covering an unresponsive baby, choking, febrile convulsions, anaphylaxis (including auto-injector use), asthma attacks, head injuries, burns and meningitis recognition. We are a recognised training provider; certificates are issued in the trained adult's name and can be added straight to your safeguarding file or Ofsted evidence pack. A short annual refresher between full 3-year renewals is recommended to keep skills current.
