Southern Vales First Aid are pleased to bring you a tailored course that is designed to give parents and carers’ skills, knowledge and confidence to deliver first aid for common child-related injuries and illnesses.
We will guide you to learn the skills to be able to provide basic first aid and learn how to manage children with asthma, allergic reactions, sprains, strains and fractures as well as CPR.
We recommend this course to:
- Parents
- Expecting parents
- Grandparents
- Anyone who wishes to gain the skills but does not need a Nationally Recognised Training
Southern Vales First Aid requests that anyone under the age of 18 is accompanied by a paying parent or guardian. Alternatively, we offer other non-accredited courses suitable for children and teens to participate in.
Some of the topics we cover include:
- Basic Life Support – DRSABCD
- Performing CPR
- Special techniques for children and infants
- Choking
- Asthma
- Severe allergic reaction
- Bleeding and wound care
- Bites and stings
- Febrile convulsions
- Sprains and Strains
Program Benefits:
- Have the skills and confidence to potentially save a life
- Have peace of mind that you can keep your child safe
- Learn the skills to be able to respond to emergencies involving children
Learning Outcomes:
- On completion of this non-accredited training, all students will receive a Certificate of Completion
- As this is a non-accredited short course, topics are not covered in depth. For a more detailed course, please enrol in HLTAID011 – Provide First Aid
Learning Methods:
There is no formal or written assessment for this training. During the session there will be a combination of practical activities, role play and interaction with the trainer. Nervous about being in front of a group with practical tasks? While it is a serious topic, we want you to relax and enjoy your time with us so don’t be scared about the tasks. We do require students to pair up for some practical activities, so for those a little anxious around new people, we recommend doing the course with a friend. We recommend this for our non-accredited and accredited tasks.
