Emergency paediatric first aid training

Are you a nanny, au pair, parent, grandparent, babysitter or volunteer working with children? Then this course is ideal for you.

​

There is no need to attend a full 12-hour paediatric first aid course if you are a nanny, you will be meeting Ofsted requirements by attending this 6-hour Emergency Paediatric First Aid course and will be qualified to administer first aid for babies and children. 

If you are a nursery or preschool you may prefer some of your staff to attend this course instead of the full course. Just get in touch with Calne based Wiltshire First Aid Training to book your place on the course or for any queries about it.

Course reviews

"I enjoyed the course, I felt Dave had an excellent knowledge of his field and I felt in very safe hands learning from him. I found the example stories incredibly useful to relate and understand a situation. The lack of Power Point kept me more engaged."
