Cost-£300 Classroom course for up to 12 participants
We have found that many families and parents do not know the basics of first aid and do not really know what to do if they come across an accident or serious illness. Learning these basic life saving skills is easy with the Sparrowhawk Training Services Family First Aid course. This course is taken as a classroom course with an approved and monitored ProTrainings instructor.
You never know when something could happen to someone in your family, so learning now will prepare you to deal with an emergency situation should it arise.
The course aims are to give an understanding of the needs of a family. It covers primary and secondary care skills for adults, infants and children. Knowing what to do in an emergency is an excellent life skill to learn and the course covers many subjects that you may come across.
