Plus, receive bonus online content includes topics such as bites and stings, musculoskeletal injury management, whooping cough, poisoning and recognising and responding to meningococcal disease.

Babies in arms are always welcome at our courses! If however your child is over one year of age we would recommend keeping them home with a babysitter or potentially looking into booking a private course. Also for the record we are very much breast feeding friendly, feel free to feed anywhere anytime!

We sure do! We provide baby, child and adult manikins for you to practice CPR, choking first aid and other lifesaving skills.

We cap our public courses at 24 people max, but usually end up with a few less… life happens, right? We find it is a great group size: big enough for lively discussions, but small enough that you still get plenty of personal feedback and support along the way.

We host our public course regularly at one central venue: Enclave – 236 Lord St Perth W.A 6000

We'll have a 15 minute break halfway through the course, giving you plenty of time to stretch your legs, grab a tea or coffee, and have a bite to eat. We will provide tea and coffee from our pod machine.You're also welcome to bring along any snacks or food you'd like. Our venue has a fridge, freezer and microwave available for you to use at any time. Of course, if you're attending with a baby, we completely understand that little ones don't always stick to the schedule. Feel free to step out whenever you need. And if you'd like an extra set of hands while you make a cuppa or duck to the bathroom, just ask, our paramedic trainers are always happy to help. In case you miss anything, you will also receive 12 months access to our online course, allowing you to revisit all of the content covered on the day, plus additional bonus modules, whenever it suits you.

You sure do! We know you're unlikely to remember every single thing from a four hour course, so we've created plenty of ways to refresh your knowledge long after the day is over. Every attendee receives a take home magnet pack featuring our Primary Survey Magnet and Medication Tracker, plus a handy keyring with access to our digital first aid manual. The manual covers everything taught during the course, broken down into easy to follow flowcharts and bite sized fact sheets for quick reference when you need it most. You'll also receive 12 months access to our online course, allowing you to revisit all of the content covered on the day, plus additional bonus modules, whenever it suits you.

Our courses are not accredited, which means we can spend less time ticking boxes and more time teaching practical skills that parents and caregivers actually need. We focus on hands-on learning, real life scenarios, and building the confidence to respond in an emergency, not passing an assessment. We are however always happy to provide a Certificate of Attendance after the course. Many healthcare professionals use this as supporting documentation for their Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
