Giving you the skills you need
Calne based Wiltshire First Aid Training provides a course in first aid for parents, grandparents, mums-to-be and guardians.
​
Being a parent is a tough job and children often end up with bumps and bruises or become unwell. However, it is always a worry if a child or baby ends up suffering from something which could potentially be life threatening, such as choking, asthma attacks, a severe allergic reaction or sudden cardiac arrest. Would you know what to do?
​
If they wish to attend a more in depth course, then our 6hr or 12hr Paediatric first aid courses are recommended.
Recognise signs and symptoms
As a parent you will probably be the one who has first contact with the child or baby and being able to recognise signs and symptoms of an injury or ailment will help you to administer the appropriate first aid. Here at Wiltshire First Aid Training, we offer parental first aid training and we recognise the need for parents to gain the necessary knowledge and skills to deal with these incidents. Also to have the confidence and the ability to remain calm and in control.
​
When the child or baby is a family member it can sometimes influence the way we react. We run two hour first aid training courses which will give the skills necessary and will be tailored to your specific needs and concerns you may have.

Course reviews
"I was scared of weaning my baby and put it off and now I feel I know what to do should she start to choke. A very informative course and actually enjoyable too."
