Teens First Aid (for kids 10-14 years old)

Teens First Aid (for kids 10-14 years old)

We’ve developed this Teens First Aid course to fit in between our Junior Doctor course (5-10 year old) and the mainstream first aid courses that can be undertaken when you reach 14 years old. The course is designed to give children a great foundation of knowledge in first aid. It matches the course content of Scout & Guide Association badges enabling those who complete the course successfully to gain their badges straight away.

Teens First Aid Course syllabus includes:

• How not to panic
• What to do straight away
• Calling the emergency services
• Reassuring someone at the scene of an emergency

Time:

Test:

• Each candidate will undertake a multiple-choice question paper & practical assessment.
  • Practical observation: You’ll need to demonstrate your first aid skills, like it’s an emergency situation. You’ll need to be able to work on the floor – for example when you’re performing CPR. You’ll need to score 100% to achieve a pass.

Pre-requisites:

• You’ll need to be able to demonstrate first aid procedures as you would in a real activity environment. This includes providing CPR to a casualty who is on the floor. So you must be physically capable of doing this to pass the course.
• The course is aimed at those over 10-14 who are looking to learn some basic first aid skills. If you’re outside of this age range, please contact us to discuss your training requirements.
