Paediatric First Aid Course in Sheffield

Training locally in Sheffield saves travel time and cost for South Yorkshire employers. The city's economy spans advanced manufacturing at the AMP, creative industries in Kelham Island, major universities, and the NHS Sheffield Teaching Hospitals trust. Our Sheffield centre is easily reached from Rotherham, Barnsley, Chesterfield, and Doncaster, making it a practical choice for businesses across the city region.

Our Sheffield venue sits in Darnall, with Darnall station an 8-minute walk away and direct Northern rail links to the city centre. The M1 (J33 via Sheffield Parkway) is roughly 12 minutes by car, and the Sheffield Supertram network connects the city centre, Hillsborough, Meadowhall, and Crystal Peaks. Free on-site parking is available for drivers travelling from Barnsley, Rotherham, Chesterfield, and beyond.

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

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

On-site Paediatric First Aid delivery is available across Sheffield and South Yorkshire — Meadowhall, Hillsborough, Crystal Peaks, Chapeltown, Stocksbridge, Ecclesall, Crookes, Dore, Rotherham, Barnsley, Chesterfield, Dronfield, Worksop and Doncaster — a fit for South Yorkshire nursery groups, primary schools and multi-academy trusts, breakfast and after-school clubs, holiday-camp operators, 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 Sheffield 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 South Yorkshire. Public dates run from our central Sheffield venue with easy reach from the Moor, Devonshire Quarter and the city-centre Supertram stops, plus the M1 (Junctions 33–36) and Sheffield station for staff travelling in from Rotherham, Barnsley, Chesterfield and Doncaster. We also deliver on-site closed groups directly at your setting — city-centre nurseries, Hillsborough, Ecclesall, Crookes, Dore, plus Crystal Peaks, Chapeltown and out to Rotherham, Barnsley, Chesterfield, Dronfield and Doncaster — useful when a setting is opening, when several staff certificates fall due 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.
