Why do you need to do First Aid training? 🤔
Read Below: A true story from one of our Clients...
Just one day after completing a Childcare First Aid course with us, Carla found that she had to put her new skills to use on her own son!
Carla was sitting outside with her 2.5 year old and partner when her son reached into his toy box and pulled out a Green Tree Snake! While her partner took care of the snake, Carla tells us that she assessed her child and identified where the bite was, before correctly applying a Pressure Immobilisation Bandage as she had been trained to do the day before!
Her son was taken to the hospital and kept overnight for observation, but Carla tells us he is doing well and is back to his normal self!
Carla called us to personality thank Stephanie and has sent us an email with the details of the incident and her feedback, saying that she would recommend this training to anyone and commends Steph for her teaching and her professionalism and clarity with demonstrations and instructions!
Well Done Carla - we are so happy to share such a good news story and that you had the confidence to assist your little one as a result of our training! ⭐️🌹

Last week three of our team completed a two-day e-learning workshop. During this workshop, they learnt how to develop e-learning resources and programs.
Over the coming months, we will be developing both accredited and non-accredited e-learning courses for our clients. Thanks to Veronica from Storyline Training for this great workshop.
