The price of a paediatric first aid course is not one number, and anyone quoting you one before asking about your group has not done the sums properly.
The Quick Answer
- Course length, group size and travel are what move the price.
- Training is priced per group at your premises, not per delegate seat.
- The cost per person drops as you fill the room, up to the course limit.
- Blended delivery puts the theory online and the practical at your venue.
- Certificates last three years, so budget on a three year refresher cycle.
- Emergency First Aid at Work here includes paediatric content at no extra cost.

How much does a pediatric first aid course cost?
The cost of a paediatric first aid course depends on how many people you are training, how many days you need and where the training happens. Because we train on your own premises and charge per group rather than per head, the price per person falls as the group fills up.

What actually drives the price of paediatric training
After decades on the tools and in training rooms, the honest answer is that four things move the number: the number of days, the size of the group, the travel involved, and whether you want the theory covered online or in the room. Paediatric first aid is normally quoted as a two day course, and the shorter emergency version as one day, so the day count is the biggest single lever.
Group size is the next one. We train at your premises, so you are booking a trainer and a day, not a seat. Eight staff and twelve staff on the same day cost you close to the same, which means the per person figure drops sharply once the room is full. Nurseries and pre-schools that team up with a sister setting almost always get better value than those booking a handful of people at a time.
Travel is the smallest factor of the three, and it is usually nil across Berkshire and surrounding areas. Whether you need a paediatric first aid course or a paediatric first aid course in Reading, we cover the whole area, so you are not paying for someone to drive across the country to reach you.

How on-site delivery keeps the cost down for your setting
Sending staff out to sit a course costs you more than the course fee. You lose them for the journey as well as the day, you cover the room they leave behind, and you often pay mileage on top. Training at your own nursery, school or club removes all of that. The equipment comes to you, the manikins go down on your floor, and your team practises in the space where they would actually deal with a choking toddler or a febrile convulsion.
It also means the session can flex around your day. We work with settings that start early so the training is done before the children arrive, and others that run it across a weekend. If you are looking for paediatric first aid close to home for your staff, that flexibility is usually worth more than any small difference in headline price. Whether you need a paediatric first aid course or a paediatric first aid course in Windsor, we cover the whole area on the same basis.
Blended delivery and where it saves you time rather than money
Blended delivery is an option: the theory is completed online in your team's own time and the practical assessment is done face to face at your venue. It does not usually cut the fee much, but it cuts the time your staff spend off the floor, which for a setting running to ratios is the cost that actually hurts.
For comparison, our Emergency First Aid at Work course runs as one day, about six hours, for up to 12 delegates, with a three year certificate, and that too can be run blended. Paediatric certificates also run for three years, so whichever route you take, budget for a refresher on the same cycle rather than treating it as a one-off.
- Day count is the largest cost driver, ahead of everything else.
- Per group pricing means the cost per person falls as numbers rise.
- On-site training removes travel time and cover costs for your business.
- Blended delivery buys back staff hours rather than cutting the fee.
- Three year certificates let you plan the spend across the cycle.
What you get for the money when you book with us
Every trainer is in-house. We do not outsource to freelancers, and Rebecca leads the team herself, so the standard you are quoted is the standard that turns up. Between them our trainers hold over 50 years of combined experience, much of it in real emergency work rather than classrooms alone.
Our first aid courses are accredited by FAIB, and our mental health courses are accredited by FAA. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) sets out what employers need from first aid provision, and we quote against those requirements rather than selling you days you do not need. Where it fits, our Emergency First Aid at Work course includes paediatric content at no extra cost, which is a genuine saving for settings with mixed adult and child duty of care.
Ring us with your numbers, your dates and your setting, and you get a straight figure. No seat prices dressed up as group prices, and no hidden extras for equipment or certificates.
