FIRST AID TRAINING COURSES - CHILDREN UP TO 12 YEARS OF AGE
It is important that children have an awareness of basic first aid. This was recognised by Government and Ofsted and hence included as part of the National Curriculum in 2019 for England and Wales.
At First Aid For All we want everyone to know how to save a life and help create a new generation of lifesavers.
The session is informative about basic life support and includes the following:
- Module 1 Let’s get started
- Module 2 What is First Aid?
- Module 3 First Aid kits
- Module 4 Important things to know about First Aid
- Module 5 DR ABC
- Module 6 CPR
- Module 7 Defibrillation
- Module 8 Recovery position

This is presented in a child friendly manner suitable for this age group.
The session could be held in a classroom with the desks stacked and chairs set out in a horseshoe formation.
Each session has a maximum of 30 children. The class teacher needs to be present for both sessions.
After School 1 hour Parents session
It is also important that parents/ carers/grandparents have a good first aid awareness in case of emergencies. First Aid For All offer an after school session for parents/carers/ grandparents.
This is a 1 hour session which covers awareness of CPR (Adult, child, baby), recovery position and AEDs.
First Aid For All use The Mini Medics courses. They are a fantastic way to introduce first aid to children. The training is supported by Nuco Training.
Mini Medics First Aid is a basic first aid course designed for children between the ages of 8 and 12, but it can suit children of any age.

Course funding
All state-funded schools in England are now required to teach first aid as part of the health education curriculum. Physical health and mental wellbeing (Primary and secondary) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
This training can be funded via your school’s ‘Sports Premium’ funding . Hence your school budget does not need to be touched. To enable use of Sports Premium funds , your school will need to show that the first aid training is an initiative which is ‘Sustainable and benefits all pupils’. This would require the initiative to be included on the ‘Sports Premium’ action plan as annual training- hence ‘Sustainable’.If a parent’s session was also included after school for AED awareness and CPR, this would then ‘benefit all pupils’.
FIRST AID TRAINING COURSES - CHILDREN 13 YEARS OF AGE AND ABOVE
It is important that children have an awareness of basic first aid. This was recognised by Government and Ofsted and hence included as part of the National Curriculum in 2019 for England and Wales.
At First Aid For All we want everyone to know how to save a life and help create a new generation of lifesavers.
We believe that every school child should learn basic first aid skills but this is difficult and costly to schools.
Our answer is to offer a free video online course to all school students in the UK where they can not only learn first aid skills but also learn how to use online training courses which will help improve their ICT skills. This online training is provided by Pro Trainings.
If you would like more information about the free online training then it is available by following this link.
Student First Aid Course - Online Training (protrainings.uk)
On the course, various first aid subjects are covered to encourage children to help someone in need but to also ensure that they keep themselves safe at all time and make sure that they get help.
All Pro Training first aid courses fully meet the latest UK and European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2021 as per the HSE requirements.
The school has the option of purchasing a follow up session from ourselves which provides a 2 hour practical hands-on session per class where the students experience using CPR manikins (Adult, child and baby). The students also practice using a choking vest on manikins and their friends. Finally they will learn how to place their friend into the recovery position.
