Pediatric First Aid Certification

Pediatric First Aid

While first aid skills play a crucial role in any emergency situation, it's particularly important for those who care for children. Children are naturally inquisitive and often get injured or hurt whilst exploring and playing.

When an emergency arises your confidence and first aid knowledge will not only be handy, but it could also even make the difference between life and death.

What You Will Learn:

  • The importance of learning first aid skills and how you can: reduce risks by keeping a fully equipped first aid kit, help the child until the paramedics arrive, and perhaps save his or her life in the process
  • How to clean and dress scrapes and wounds and use the RICE rule to look after a child with sprains or broken bones
  • How to position a child with head injuries correctly, recognize symptoms of concussion, treat different degree burns and help a choking child to breathe again
  • Very importantly, you will also learn how to provide CPR to a child. The course will also teach you how to provide chest compressions, give rescue breaths and how to position a child who is not breathing

Benefits of the Course:

  • The course helps you become familiar with the different types of emergencies that can occur and teaches you to recognize signs of serious situations such as concussion and snake bites
  • Not only will you learn what you should do, but you will also learn about what you shouldn't do to worsen the situation
  • First aid skills training helps you respond correctly, without panic or confusion, in potentially stressful situations

Very easy to follow modules with brilliant work sheets to check what you have just learnt. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed this course. Was a lot of reading and had to stop and try to take it in.

There were 21 modules, and most of them took 45 minutes to complete, so you need to be in a position, where you actually have the time to do all the tasks that are required. The tasks are mainly to do things by yourself to practise what you have just read, but doing it will help you out so much.

Will be looking for another course, as I enjoyed this so much, definitely worth the price as the certificate is worth more on your cv.

The diploma in Waxing course is fantastic, I am really enjoying it. The information provided is in depth and covers everything you require to learn and be knowledgeable enough to work on clients. It is an easy to follow set up and being able to access the course content on either my home computer or my mobile device gives me the ease to always check back if ever unsure of something. I would 100% recommend this course to beginners, or like myself, anyone wanting to just refresh their knowledge. Expanding my knowledge has been made easy! So pleased I found New Skills Academy.

Having worked in schools for years and having a recently diagnosed son this course has opened my eyes to the world of Autism. The course is both informative, easy to work through and enables the learner to gain full understanding about all aspects of Autism.

Through completing this course I have gained employment supporting a child with Autism and I have been able to implement many strategies to assist both my pupil and also my own son.

I would highly recommend this course if you would like to gain a richer understanding of Autism and would like to study online and at your own pace.

Jo Price

This course has been such a great help in my new career path as a PA. When I was job hunting before, I was having no luck, however now I have interested daily for PA roles all because of my new qualification. Easy to use at my own pace. Thanks!

Natasha Brinn

This course was great!!!!! Made me knowledgeable in more than one way.

I work in a landscaping company doing all HR and Bookkeeping, but wanted to further my education and start being able to help clients more than just sending them an invoice, I wanted to start designing as well. I am still going back and reviewing the plants knowledge and reviewing just in case.

I love that you can download the modules for future reference, I will definitely be using this as a tool. And possibly taking more classes to further my education. Thanks to this course I am on my way!
