Summary
Overview
Looking after your Grandchildren is a huge responsibility and all Grandparents should understand how to help if the child in their care is seriously unwell or has an accident. This course is designed to give you theoretical knowledge concerning how to recognise something is wrong and help a child in a medical emergency.
This is an excellent First Aid Training package for parents and Grandparents to gain invaluable knowledge at their own time and pace. This course does not seek to replace a practical course and it is strongly recommended that you attend a practical First Aid training course to gain the necessary hands-on skills.
The course consists of illustrated step by step directions, flow charts, diagrams, videos and a short test yourself section fully compatible with all computers and mobile devices. You will be able to stop and start as often as you like and on completion you will be able to print your Certificate.
It is impossible to cover all eventualities within this course, or to equip you with the knowledge and skills to appropriately diagnose and treat in unpredictable real life situations. If you suspect illness or injury, you should always seek immediate professional medical advice.
