Course Overview
This course was developed in conjunction with the NCMA and
Pre-School Learning Alliance to meet the requirements of the
National Standards. All childminders in England and Wales must
now pass a first aid course when they register. This should
ideally be taken while they are registering, but certainly
within six months of receiving their registration certificate.
The course offers a comprehensive guide to administering First
Aid and each delegate receives a manual.
Who is it for?
This course is for those responsible for the care of young
children, particularly childminders and Early Years workers.
The course is also recognised for the purpose of registration
as an Early Years professional. It can be used to provide evidence
for those working towards an NVQ in Child Care and Education
(Level 3).
