A simple way to keep your team confident, compliant, and ready all year round.
The Reality
Most nurseries and schools already have staff with valid paediatric first aid certificates.
However, in practice, confidence fades over time. Skills aren’t used regularly, guidance changes, and staff turnover means knowledge becomes inconsistent across teams.
At the same time, expectations around first aid provision — particularly around allergy awareness and anaphylaxis — continue to increase.
The Challenge
Traditional first aid training is typically delivered as a one-off course every three
years.
This often leads to:
- Skills fade between training cycles
- Pressure to organise requalification before expiry
- Large, one-off training costs
- New staff requiring separate training arrangements
- Difficulty evidencing ongoing competence for EYFS and Ofsted
In reality, the responsibility for managing training, compliance, and readiness sits
with you.
The Solution
The Ongoing First Aid Competence Programme replaces this model with a simple, fully managed approach.
For a fixed monthly cost per learner, your entire team is continuously supported,
trained, and compliant — without the need to organise training separately.
This is not additional training to manage.
It replaces the need to manage it altogether.
“Paul has been coming to St Joseph’s Catholic School in Ramsgate for the past three years. Staff always ask for him specifically and don’t want anyone else — he’s that good.”

Who This Is Delivered By
This programme is delivered by an Advanced Clinical Practitioner (Paramedic) with frontline experience across urgent care and primary care settings.
This means your team isn’t just receiving standard first aid training — they’re learning from real-world clinical experience, including how situations develop, how to recognise early deterioration, and how to respond confidently when it matters most.
The focus is not just on certification, but on practical decision-making, confidence, and safe, consistent care.
How It Works
Most settings have 6–20 staff trained in paediatric first aid.
Over time:
Monthly CPD
Short, practical updates that reinforce key skills and build confidence over time
New staff included
Covers both existing staff and new joiners from day one
18-Month Practical Refreshers
Hands-on sessions to maintain real-world competence
3 Year Requalification Included
Delivered when certificates expire, with no additional cost
Fully Managed System
Training schedules, tracking, and compliance are taken care of

Paul recently delivered paediatric first aid training at St Mary’s Catholic School, Deal. Shortly afterwards, staff were required to respond to a choking incident.
The trained first aiders managed the situation calmly and effectively, and staff reported feeling confident in applying what they had learned.
As a Headteacher, I value training that prepares staff for real situations — not just meeting requirements. Paul’s approach achieved this, and I would be happy to discuss our experience with any school considering his training.”
