Why take a children’s first aid course?

Most parents hope they will never need to use first aid. But when a child is choking, has a high fever, falls badly or suddenly becomes unresponsive, knowing what to do can make a real difference.

A children’s first aid course helps you feel more prepared, less panicked and more confident in the moments before professional help arrives.

This course is especially useful for:

  • new parents
  • parents of babies and toddlers
  • expectant parents preparing for birth
  • families with young children
  • grandparents who help with childcare
  • nannies, au pairs and babysitters
  • teachers and childcare professionals
  • adults who supervise children during lessons, camps or activities
