How long is the Paediatric First Aid course in Liverpool?

Our Liverpool Paediatric First Aid course runs over 2 days and covers 12 contact hours of training, split between infant and child first aid. Public dates are taught at our central Liverpool venue and on-site closed groups can be run as 2 consecutive days or split over 2 weeks to suit nursery and school rota patterns across the Liverpool City Region.

Does this course meet the EYFS paediatric first aid requirements?

Yes. The 12-hour 2-day course is built around the paediatric first aid requirements in the EYFS Statutory Framework, so a Liverpool nursery, pre-school or Ofsted-registered childminder can use it to evidence the qualification needed for their designated paediatric first aider. Certificates are issued in the trained adult's name and slot straight into your safeguarding file or Ofsted evidence pack. Learners from Liverpool ONE and the Waterfront and the wider Liverpool area sit this course with us each month — the content and certificate are the same wherever you're based.

How long is the paediatric first aid certificate valid for?

The certificate is valid for 3 years from the date of issue. We email a reminder before expiry and recommend a short annual refresher in between for staff at Liverpool nurseries, primary schools and holiday clubs. Our Liverpool schedule runs alongside cohorts in nearby North West England towns, so you can pick whichever date suits your shift pattern around Speke and the Estuary corridor.

Who is this course suitable for?

It is suitable for anyone working with babies and children across the Liverpool City Region — nursery practitioners and managers, Ofsted-registered childminders, nannies, primary-school staff, after-school and breakfast-club leaders, holiday-camp staff, SEN support workers and parents who want a full 2-day course rather than a short awareness session. If your team is based around the Baltic Triangle and Knowledge Quarter or elsewhere in Liverpool, our trainers travel to your site for closed groups of 6+.

How much does the Paediatric First Aid course cost in Liverpool?

Public seats at our central Liverpool venue and closed on-site groups across the Liverpool City Region are priced per learner — live rates and any multi-seat discounts show on the booking page when you choose a date. Closed on-site groups usually work out most cost-effective from 6 learners upwards.

Can you deliver this course at our nursery or school in the Liverpool City Region?

Yes. We run closed on-site groups across Bootle, Crosby, Speke, Halewood, St Helens, the Wirral and Knowsley. We bring infant and child manikins, AED trainers and all consumables — you provide a room large enough for floor practice and seating for the group.

What topics are covered on the course?

Primary survey for babies and children, infant and child CPR, AED use, choking, the recovery position, an unresponsive casualty, bleeding, shock, head and spinal injuries, burns and scalds, fractures, febrile convulsions, asthma attacks, anaphylaxis (including auto-injector use), meningitis recognition, diabetic emergencies and common childhood illnesses. Scenarios are tuned to Liverpool nursery and school settings. Most of our paediatric first aid learners in Liverpool come from teams around the Baltic Triangle and Knowledge Quarter — book here and we'll run the session at a venue close by.

Is there written work or an exam?

There is no formal written exam. Learners are assessed continuously by the instructor across practical scenarios and short knowledge checks across the 2 days. Most paperwork is just registration on day one and a short feedback form at the end — the certificate follows shortly after. If your team is based around the Baltic Triangle and Knowledge Quarter or elsewhere in Liverpool, our trainers travel to your site for closed groups of 6+.

How do I get to your central Liverpool training venue?

Our Liverpool venue is a short walk from Lime Street, Central and James Street stations and the Merseyrail network, so staff can travel in easily from across the Liverpool City Region. We share full directions, nearest stations and parking notes in the joining instructions sent before the course.

Can a parent or nanny book on the course without working at a nursery?

Yes. The course is open to individual parents, grandparents, au pairs and private nannies in Liverpool — you do not need to work in an EYFS setting to attend. The certificate you receive is the same as one issued to a nursery employee. Public Liverpool dates near Liverpool ONE and the Waterfront fill quickly — book early or request an in-house session for your North West England team.

How quickly will I get my certificate after the course?

Digital certificates are normally issued within a few working days of the course finishing and emailed to the trained adult (and to your employer if you've provided their contact). Hard copies are available on request. Most of our paediatric first aid learners in Liverpool come from teams around Liverpool ONE and the Waterfront — book here and we'll run the session at a venue close by.

What age range does the course cover?

The course covers care for infants (under 1 year) and children (1 year to the onset of puberty). It does not cover adult first aid — if your team also needs adult cover for non-childcare colleagues, look at our Emergency First Aid at Work or First Aid at Work Liverpool courses as a companion. Most of our paediatric first aid learners in Liverpool come from teams around Speke and the Estuary corridor — book here and we'll run the session at a venue close by.

Do you offer a blended online / in-person option?

Yes — we can run a blended format with day one delivered online via live video and day two as the practical, in-person assessment at our Liverpool venue or your site. Multi-site nursery groups across the Liverpool City Region often pick this to reduce travel while keeping the practical assessed face-to-face. Our Liverpool schedule runs alongside cohorts in nearby North West England towns, so you can pick whichever date suits your shift pattern around the Baltic Triangle and Knowledge Quarter.

First aid training across Greater Liverpool and surrounding areas

Our trainers run public Emergency First Aid at Work, First Aid at Work, Paediatric First Aid and Mental Health First Aid courses at central Liverpool venues throughout the year — with on-site delivery available anywhere across the wider region. Whether you're booking a single seat or training a whole team, you'll get a practical, HSE-aligned session led by an experienced instructor.

We support employers, schools, nurseries, charities and event organisers right across Greater Liverpool, from city-centre offices to industrial sites on the outskirts. On-site team training keeps your people in their own environment, cuts travel time to zero and works out significantly cheaper per person than sending staff to public courses — ideal for groups of six or more.

Why Train in Liverpool?

Liverpool sits at the heart of the Liverpool City Region — a regional economy of over 1.5 million people spanning the city, Sefton, Knowsley, St Helens, Halton and the Wirral. The compliance burden on local employers is significant: NHS trusts, two universities, the Port of Liverpool, Jaguar Land Rover at Halewood, Liverpool ONE and the Albert Dock hospitality scene all need a steady supply of certified first aiders under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981. Choosing a Liverpool training provider keeps travel time and downtime to a minimum, and means your team trains close to the workplace they will be delivering first aid in.

As a major economic centre in North West England, Liverpool's diverse economy spans from global shipping and logistics to pioneering life sciences in the Knowledge Quarter. This breadth of commercial activity means businesses of all types must have an appropriate number of qualified first aiders to comply with the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981.

Getting here

Liverpool is served by Liverpool Lime Street mainline station (direct intercity services to Manchester, Birmingham and London Euston) and the Merseyrail network through Liverpool Central, James Street and Moorfields. Road links include the M62, M57 and M58 motorways, and the Queensway and Kingsway tunnels under the Mersey to the Wirral. Liverpool John Lennon Airport sits at Speke to the south. Our city-centre venue is a short walk from Lime Street and within minutes of the Merseyrail underground stations.

Onsite & in-house training

Onsite first aid training in Liverpool — we come to your workplace

We offer flexible training solutions for larger organisations, including Liverpool City Council departments and multi-academy trusts across Knowsley and Sefton. If you have a group of staff needing certification, our HSE-aligned instructors can come directly to your venue in Birkenhead or Halewood, saving your team the commute into the city centre. This on-site approach is particularly popular with busy holiday clubs and larger primary schools that need to train multiple members of staff simultaneously while maintaining their daily operations. We bring all the necessary equipment, including infant and junior manikins, ensuring your team learns in their own familiar environment with minimal disruption to their schedules.
