First Aid for baby and child (evenings)
Duration: 4 Hours (2 Hours per evening)
Who is it for?
Nobody likes to think of their child being in an emergency situation, but learning first aid will give you the confidence to be able to help should you need to.
This course (which is split across two consecutive evenings) has been designed with parents in mind, to guide you through exactly what you need to know. It covers a range of childhood emergency situations; from choking and unresponsiveness to fever and meningitis.
It's perfect for:
- parents of children of all ages (from birth to puberty)
- expectant parents, as part of preparing for parenthood
- grandparents
- family members
- babysitters
It's especially recommended for anyone who would prefer an evening class, or find it difficult to attend a course during the day.
Please note that this is not a certificated course. If you care for a child professionally, you will need to take our paediatric first aid course.
To ensure you get the most effective learning experience we limit attendance of the course to adults only (aged 16 and over).
