First Aid Course for helpers
This Helpers course focuses on the essentials of CPR, First Aid and Emergency Procedures. It is designed for your Helpers, who are looking after babies and young children.
This popular course is informative and pertinent. It is conducted over two sessions and at a slower pace so that your helper will understand and remember what to do when needed. We truly hope that your Helper will never have to use the information that they learn but believe strongly that every person should acquire these life saving skills.
