Qualification regulation and support
The Highfield Level 3 Award in Emergency Paediatric First Aid (RQF) is awarded by Highfield Qualifications and sits on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). The RQF is a qualification framework regulated by Ofqual and CCEA Regulation. The qualification is also regulated by Qualifications Wales.
Guidance on assessment
Highfield has created assessment paperwork for each element of assessment which are graded pass/fail.
1) Practical observation
The practical assessment is completed throughout the course delivery. This ongoing assessment requires learners to demonstrate practical first aid skills. The practical assessment will be recorded using the practical matrix within the Assessment Pack.
2) Centre-marked multiple-choice theory assessment
Learners are required to answer a series of questions contained within theory question papers, available to download from the members’ area of the website. Oral questioning may be used. In this case, the assessor should document the responses within the assessment pack. Theory paperwork is externally set by Highfield and internally assessed by the centre.
Learners must achieve a pass in each element in order to pass the qualification.
Assessment must be undertaken in controlled conditions. This means:
paperwork and hold it securely until the assessment recommences.
