New Covid-friendly blended first aid training for parents
(in English)
To reduce the face to face contact hours due to COVID-19, we have developed an blended first aid course which is working really well:
Part 1 – live online theory session via Zoom (3-hours)
9:30am – 12:30pm (usually Saturday)
This is held via Zoom with the first aid trainer to cover all the theory (you are able to interact with the trainer to ask your questions). You also receive the recording so you can come back any time to watch again.
Part 2 – in-person practical session (1 hour)
Subject to availability, you choose from 9:30am – 10:30am // 11am – 12:00 noon // 12:30pm – 1:30pm (Usually the following Saturday)
The practical is held in small groups. You will receive 1:1 feedback from the trainer.

- CPR for babies and children

“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
About the NEW online course:
“I found the course extremely helpful. The theoretical part was very well structured and I learned a lot from it. I’m so glad I could attend the practical part too as it was there where all the details started falling into place. Linda is a great instructor! Many thanks to her.” – Ekaterina
