Pre-requisites
First aid for baby and child is designed to teach you a range of first aid skills to cope with emergency situations for babies and children 0-5 years. We include lots of practical exercises because we want to give you confidence in dealing with a real life emergency. Delegates must be physically able to carry out the procedures detailed in the course outline. The course covers adult information.
This is a 5 hour course split over two consecutive evenings (2.5 hours per evening). We also offer a one day first aid for baby and child course.
