Be Prepared for Emergencies and Common Ailments
No parent wants to be in the situation where they are unprepared to help their baby or child during an emergency. According to a survey by St John Ambulance, 40% of parents have witnessed their baby choking, yet over 80% of these parents didn’t know what to do in this situation. Learning to prevent a common risk, such as choking, is much simpler than you might think. In fact, learning how to prevent, assess and treat a variety of first aid and common ailments encountered by infants and young children can by done in our 3 hour First Aid and CPR class for Parents.
Taught in a friendly, relaxed and sociable manner, our Certified Nurse will cover the basics of both First Aid and CPR. Our First Aid portion has several topics and covers all the basics to care for your infant and/or young child. With an emphasis on hands-on learning, our CPR and Choking portion of the class is an interactive experience where you and your partner will practice responding to these emergencies.
Beloved Bumps’ First Aid & CPR class is not a certification course, but you will learn the skills needed so you are confident and competent.

Absolutely!
Approximately 3 hours.
We will start with basic First Aid, take a 15-20 min break, and then resume with CPR, use of AED and choking.
Absolutely! We will always advise that you work within your comfort levels, but we can adapt the positions of the CPR manikins, so you don’t have to kneel on the floor. You also don’t have to complete all the interactive skills if it’s too uncomfortable.
The class does not make you CPR Certified, but the content is very thorough with a focus on assessed practical First Aid skills.
If you are interested in a certified qualification, you do have the option to convert the class to a certificate with additional online training and an additional fee.
We like to keep the class size small to maximise student/teacher ratio, depending on where the class is conducted there are usually 6-8 couples.
It is advisable to wear loose fitting and comfortable clothing. We do a lot of practical work (getting up and down from the floor and putting each other into the side lying recovery position) so shorts or trousers would probably be the best option.
