Course of the week - Family First Aid

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 ProTrainings Family First Aid course. This course can be taken as a classroom course nationally with an approved and monitored ProTrainings instructor or it can be taken online using video based learning.

First aid is not difficult to learn or deliver and whether you choose a class or online course both courses follow through from immediately life threatening conditions like cardiac arrest to less urgent problems like minor injuries.

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.  You can find the online course at www.profamily.co.uk.

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.

To book on an online course you simply register at www.profamily.co.uk and for a classroom course look at www.procourses.co.uk or call ProTrainings on 01206 805359, email on support@protrainings.eu or use the online chat from any online website.
