Our Parent and Baby First Aid Courses Are Taught by Paramedics Who Are Parents Themselves
Why Our Parent and Baby First Aid Courses Are Taught by the Best: Paramedics Who Are Parents Themselves
Because when it comes to babies, experience matters — both at home and on the front line
When you're a new parent, the world can suddenly feel full of "what ifs."
What if my baby chokes? What if they bump their head? What if I can't tell what's serious and what's not?
These worries are completely normal — and that’s exactly why we created our Parent and Baby First Aid course: to give parents the skills, confidence, and peace of mind to handle the most common baby and toddler emergencies.
But what makes our courses truly different?
They're taught by instructors who are both paramedics and parents.
👶 Real Parents, Real Paramedics — Real Understanding
At First Steps First Aid, many of our trainers aren’t just qualified paramedics — they’re also mums and dads. That means they understand your worries from both sides:
The clinical knowledge from emergency response
The emotional side of caring for your own little one
So when they talk about what to do if your baby stops breathing or has a febrile seizure, it’s not just textbook knowledge — it’s rooted in real-life experience and delivered with empathy.
🩺 What Our Parent & Baby First Aid Course Covers
In just a couple of relaxed hours, you'll learn how to:
Recognise when something is wrong — and when to call for help
Perform CPR on babies and children
Help a choking baby or toddler
Deal with burns, bleeding, head injuries, febrile seizures, and more
Understand childhood illnesses like meningitis and croup
You’ll get plenty of hands-on practice, ask as many questions as you like, and leave feeling calmer and more confident.
Make it stand out
👨👩👧 Perfect for Expectant Parents, New Mums & Dads, and Grandparents

Parents and carers of under-5s
Grandparents who babysit

❤️ Why It Matters
Choking is one of the leading causes of accidental death in babies and toddlers — but prompt, correct action can save a life.
CPR in the first few minutes can double or triple survival rates.
Seizures, head bumps, and allergic reactions can be scary — but knowing what to do makes all the difference.
Our trainers will guide you through it all with calm, clear, and practical advice — without the scary jargon.
