Paediatric First Aid Certification

Paediatric First Aid

This course will teach you many of the important aspects of paediatric first aid training. After any serious accident or life-threatening incident, there is a small window of time for keeping a child alive and avoiding further complications, even if the child survives. If the first person on the scene is qualified to identify and treat these conditions, then the child will have a far greater chance of survival. This course will teach you the basics of being a paediatric first aider. However, in order to take full advantage of this course, you should enrol for a practical course, whereby you can apply what you have learnt. Search online for training in your local area.
