First Aid for Babies and Children
Our First Aid course focuses on baby and child emergency care. We'll train you so you feel secure in the knowledge that should anything ever happen to your child or another child in your care, you will be able to act effectively.
The course is perfect for parents, grandparents, older siblings and any others who will be caring for young children. Because techniques change according to age, we recommend you keep up dating your skills every 6-12 months.
The training takes place in two sections, each two hours long: First Aid; and Resuscitation. We recommend taking both.
