Course Specification
Department for Education - Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework

Schools, groups and childminders must ensure their chosen First Aid provider meets the EYFS standards by conducting due diligence. To make this process simple we have already done the hard work for you.

All our first aid course specifications contain a completed HSE “checklist for evaluating the competence of first-aid training organisations”. This is recommended by the Department for Education and clearly demonstrates how APEXi meet all the legal requirements as a First Aid training provider.

If you, have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
