What to expect from this course

This very thorough course will give you everything you need to know to help a baby, child or adult with both minor and major first aid incidents both inside and outside your home as well as giving advice on how to manage a range of common illnesses and conditions.

Having the basic knowledge to deal with a first aid emergency can stop a minor incident from becoming a major one and in the worst-case scenario can make the difference between a life lost and a life saved.
