The First Aid Course for parents is a blended course over two days (3 hours live online via Zoom + 1.5 – 2 hours practical component).
To reduce the face to face contact hours due to COVID-19, we have developed a blended course which is working really well:
– a live online 3-hour session with the first aid trainer to cover all the theory (you are able to interact with the trainer via Zoom to ask your questions)
– an in-person practical component which takes around 1.5-2 hours
The course is held in English and will cover:
- CPR for babies and children
- Cuts, grazes and serious wounds
- Choking
- Burns
- Broken bones
- Bites and stings
- Temperatures and rashes
- Heat exhaustion and heat stroke
- Asthma and allergies

“Thank you for the extra info and for organising the workshop, and thanks again to Linda for her time. I found it helpful and fun (!) and can honestly say I feel a lot more confident knowing what to do in case of an accident, minor or major.” – Kate
“A big thank you for organising a great first aid training for babies and kids at Jacaranda Tree Montessori and Linda for her wonderful skills to bring the first aid material across. I feel much more prepared for any accidents and I think that is crucial for staying in control. Cannot recommend highly enough that all parents get a refresher.” – Lilla
