Certification

On successful completion of the course, learners will receive the Qualsafe Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (RQF) certificate. The certificate is valid for three years and must be revalidated through a refresher or full course before expiry to maintain compliance with Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) requirements. Although the qualification lasts three years, annual refresher training is strongly recommended to keep skills current and meet ongoing regulatory standards in childcare settings.
