The course is a mixture of practical and theory. It is conducted in a friendly, non-intimidating and fun manner. All the trainers are highly qualified and experienced. Many are health care professionals with specialist knowledge of childhood emergencies.
There is no formal assessment at the end of the course, however the students are continually assessed throughout the day. The course price includes a training pack containing stationery, a text book and a resuscitation face shield. A certificate of competence is awarded to all students who successfully complete the course.
All candidates will receive a link via email to download their certificate within their course price.
