Paediatric First Aid (Blended) Course

The Blended Paediatric First Aid course is split in to two parts; a six hour tutor-led classroom based component and a six hour e-Learning component. The e-Learning component can be stopped and re-started, so does not have to be sat in one six hour session, but must be completed before the tutor-led classroom day!

Delegates will be sent details of the online part of the course approximately fourteen days before the tutor-led classroom based day. The online part must be successfully completed before the tutor-led classroom day (short assessment at the end of the e-Learning with a maximum of three attempts).
