First Aid courses in East London?

[nesomja]

Does anyone know of first aid courses which meet the Ofsted requirements in east London? The only one I have found is in central London but I'm not very clear on exactly what the course has to cover in order to meet the requirements. - except I think it has to be a paediatric one?

Try Bababoom in Loughton. I know they run paediatric first aid courses however I'm not sure if they meet Ofsted requirements. Shop is owned by a former midwife so she may be able to point you in the right direction if they can't help themselves.

Good luck

St Johns Ambulance (Course: Early Years First Aid) and [[http://www.redcrossfirstaidtraining.co.uk/Courses/CourseInformation/First%20aid%20at%20work%20cour ses%20-%20UK%20mainland/First%20Aid%20for%20Child%20Carers.aspx British Red Cross (First Aid for Childcarers) have courses.

British Red Cross alas only seem to have the course on at Euston or Chelmsford.

St Johns have Weekend course at Marylebone, though do have more choices for Weekday courses (Leytonstone, Walthamstow, Limehouse for example).

Also try contacting your local authority early years department. They may know of training providers or be running a course themselves.

Ofsted have guidance as to what must be covered in the course in the Guide to Registration document. Best advice from me though is to do a 2-day course (12 hours) aimed at Childcare Workers, as that will have been designed to meet the requirements. Shorter courses can be done when updating (update has to be done every 3 years) though I still do the 2-day course as they often change things, particularly to do with recovery position and resuscitation procedures.

Opps, that didn't work. Try again.
