At MedSec7 we offer the Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (QCF) Course, which can be delivered in the UK and Internationally.

This qualification is designed for those learners wishing to become a paediatric first aider in the workplace with a responsibility for the welfare of infants and children. This qualification is intended for leaners already working or preparing to work in the industry

Learners gaining this qualification will know that first aid is the responsibility of everyone involved in the working environment.
