Schedule Private First Aid Courses with Kids First Aid Today; We Provide Thorough Training at Homes Throughout Australia
If your child were to start choking right now, would you know how to save his or her life? How about if your child suffered a bite or sting from a venomous spider or snake, or if he or she ingested a poisonous substance? Every parent knows to pick up the phone and dial Triple Zero in the case of an emergency, but the fact is that you probably don’t live right next door to the hospital. At best, you won’t have a paramedic at your home for 5-10 minutes, and by that point, it might be too late. At Kids First Aid, we offer private first aid courses to parents, caregivers and family members throughout Australia. With our help, you can make the most of those 5-10 minutes and use them to save your child’s life.
How Our Private First Aid Training Teaches You What You Need to Know
We know what you are probably thinking, because we’ve heard it from customers in the past. ‘I’m not a paramedic’ is a common refrain; so is ‘It will take me years to learn the first aid skills I need to react in an emergency.’ In reality, anyone can learn lifesaving first aid and those lessons can happen faster than you think. Sure, it takes years to become a paramedic. However, to determine the basic skills necessary to react to dire medical emergencies (choking, poisoning, severe allergic reactions, etc.), you simply need a few hours with an experienced medical practitioner. The same goes for learning how to tend to severe injuries (burns, fractures, deep cuts) until a paramedic arrives.
At Kids First Aid, our private first aid courses are the perfect opportunity to learn these skills. We provide first aid training at homes throughout Australia, mostly in capital cities. These courses are private and can be taught on an individual basis or delivered to groups. Either way, each course is three hours long and features an intensive structure focused on a wide range of life-threatening scenarios and the appropriate responses to each. Our courses are taught by paramedics, who have seen emergencies firsthand and know how to react to them. Each course provides tips for recognising emergencies, tactics and manoeuvres for savings lives (such as CPR and the Heimlich manoeuvre) and recommendations for first aid supplies that you should have in the house.
At the end of our private first aid training, you will have the knowledge, ability and confidence to act if or when an emergency strikes. Seeing your child in distress or mortal peril can be enough to paralyse any parent with fear. However, most parents find that, when they know what to do in an emergency, they are far more likely to keep their wits about them and take productive life-saving steps.

What attendees are saying about these invaluable first aid workshops
About an hour ago my 2 year old daughter swallowed a 5 cent
piece and wasn't able to breathe. The look on her face was terrifying. Thankfully, you helped me be prepared and know what to do. After the 5 back blows she spluttered, wretched and must've gotten the coin out of her airway as she started breathing again. It was honestly the most terrifying thing I've been through with my kids.
Thanks again for giving me the information to be able to handle the situation.

Last month my 11 month old daughter suffered a febrial
convulsion whilst in my arms and stopped breathing. He mouth and lips went blue & purple and she had a full convulsive fit. She had a fever that rose quickly and becuase of your course, i recognised the signs of what was happening, placed her in the recovery postion on the floor till the fit stopped and called the ambulance. Although a terrifiying experience as i was home on my home own, i kept calm and felt in control knowing i had the knowledge to help me daughter through.
I thought you should know what a difference it made to me in a emergency situation. My husband had not done the course and booked it and did it straight after, as he would not have known what to do. Thank you.
My husband and I attended your recent Woollahra course
after being very scared by a choking incident with our nine month old daughter the week before. What a great course! Alan was a wonderful presenter. He had so much great hands on experience. His stories kept things lively as well as illustrated the skills we need in a way that I'll remember. I also found it invaluable how he explained the cause of different injuries/conditions and the reason a particular treatment worked.
I've been surprised this past week how such a simple investment could make me feel more confident as a parent, but it really has.

In December I took my 12 year old daughter with me to one
of your first aid courses. This was in anticipation of her babysitting for others in the next few years.
Today it paid an unexpected dividend. As she and her 11 year old brother got off the bus and crossed the road, the young woman walking in front of them collapsed.
My 11 year old instinctively put out his hand to catch her head. My daughter moved the young woman to a safer place on the road by an island and placed her in the recovery position.
She then enlisted the help of an adult asking them to call the ambulance.

We just wanted to say a big thank you for the excellent
first aid course at Crows Nest on Saturday. We found the course was very practical and helpful and thought that Craig was a fantastic presenter. Knowing of his extensive experience and hearing his stories was great but we also found him to be very clear and good at reinforcing the main points.
Our poster is up to remind us of the things covered in the course. Hopefully we won't need to use what we've learnt but it's good to feel prepared..

I was amazed at how logical and simple so many first aid steps
for various situations are! Things have changed since learning all those complicated and confusing procedures in P.E. at high school! After realising how simple (and obviously life-changing) first aid really is I cannot help but wonder why it isn't compulsory for everyone to learn first aid! The fee is peanuts when compared to the value of what is learnt.

I would definitely recommend KFA to family and friends...
this information is best presented by KFA (Paramedic)...not passed on second hand. Really informative and kept encouraging us to be proactive rather than petrified.
