First aid course

Laura has been amazing. She has covered everything in great detail and made sure that we understood and were confident and comfortable to ask any questions that we had. One of the best first aid courses I have ever been a part of!

We had such a fantastic experience

We had such a fantastic experience with Mini First Aid last night! My partner and I attended a baby and child first aid course as we’re expecting our first baby, and we honestly couldn’t recommend it enough.

Before the session, we both felt quite unsure about what we would actually need to do if something happened to our baby or a child. The thought of being faced with an emergency is something that can feel really daunting, especially as first-time parents.

The course was incredibly informative, practical and easy to understand. We were shown what to do in a range of situations and, most importantly, had the opportunity to practise the techniques ourselves. Everything was explained clearly and in a really relaxed, supportive way, which made such a difference.

We both came away feeling so much more confident and prepared. Of course, we hope we never have to use what we learnt, but knowing that we now have the knowledge and practical skills to respond should something happen gives us a huge amount of reassurance.

It was also lovely to attend together and feel like we’re already taking steps towards feeling more prepared for our little one’s arrival. We would genuinely recommend Mini First Aid to any new or expectant parents — it’s definitely a few hours well spent! 💗👶

Mini First Aid Paediatric First Aid Course

I attended the Mini First Aid Paediatric First Aid course 12 hours (6 hours online and 6 hours in person) on Saturday and found it incredibly informative and worthwhile.

The course was delivered by Claire in a really engaging and practical way, which made it much easier to understand and remember what to do in different first aid situations. I particularly found the practical aspect valuable, as being able to practise the skills myself has given me much more confidence in knowing what to do if I ever need to provide first aid.

I came away feeling much more prepared and confident, especially when it comes to caring for babies and children. I would definitely recommend Mini First Aid to anyone who works with or cares for children! I also think that the course is priced extremely well ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Highly recommended

Highly recommended - I recently updated my adult and child first aid qualifications with Mini First Aid, and I must say, they are very professional and keep up with the latest information. You do not need to take a qualification; e.g. courses begin at £30 for parents, grandparents and carers. You can also opt for public classes at local venues or arrange a private class - you and others can only benefit. Katy and Claire were excellent trainers willing and able to help and answer all our questions - thank you.
PS: Since the course, a friend collapsed at home and was saved by CPR...!

Baby first aid 16 August 2026 Mulbarton village Hall - trainer Laura. As a new grandparent I was keen to learn first aid skills. Well structured 2hr course, relaxed environment and Laura was very knowledgeable with ad hoc questions being asked. Everything explained in plain language and opportunities to have hands on practice with dummies. Lots of topics covered. Very informative and fun couple of hours, small group of 12. Even once the class had finished Laura was still happy to take further questions. Small shop at the end available to browse, no pressure to buy. Highly recommend, great value for money. Well spent couple of hours and many thanks to Laura, amazing teacher! Sarah TB

Informative

Informative, well explained and up to date. Hopefully never need to use it but better to have the knowledge and not need it than need it and not have it.

Katy and her team mate (forgot the name 🙈) were both amazing!!! It’s was a very relaxing atmosphere and extremely informative, she patiently answered each and every question clearly and explained every single detail of the course. The equipment was really well maintained, ready and neatly arranged. The 6 hour course flew by as she made everything so clear and concise. Best course I’ve been on.

Really enjoyed the Mini First Aid course. Liz Watt was very knowledgeable and taught lots of very practical things. We also got a chance to try them out on life-size baby dolls, which was very helpful. We covered a great deal including CPR, burns, bleeding, choking, seizures, menigitis and more. It was a very worthwhile 2 hours.

A must for parents-to-be 💚

We attended the 2-hour Mini First Aid course with Lynsay (Fife & Forth Valley) and couldn't recommend it more highly. As parents-to-be we found the session incredibly informative and reassuring.

Lynsay was knowledgeable and engaging throughout. She explained everything clearly, answered all of our questions with confidence, and made us feel much more prepared to enter parenthood.

The course was well structured, hands-on (how I learn best!) and full of useful advice that every new parent should know. We left feeling more confident and equipped with the skills to respond in an emergency. Thank you, Lynsay and Mini First Aid Fife & Forth Valley, for such a valuable and enjoyable course!

Fantastic content and well led course

We attended the baby and child first aid course led by Andrea in Cotton End as expecting parents. Andrea was so clear and had a wealth of knowledge to share with us, we felt the course was delivered really well and gave us a lot of information. Before moving onto each stage Andrea asked if there were any questions and if we wanted her to go over anything to clarify. All questions were answered and Andrea was very helpful with her responses. The content of this course is absolutely fantastic, and having a go practically is very useful. It was a bonus that first aid kits and other bits were able to be purchased at the end as it was something I needed to buy and I knew everything I would need would be in these kits! I have recommended this class to my NCT group and also friends with young children or who are pregnant.

Mini first aid with Elaine in EK

Did the mini first aid day in East Kilbride which was taken by Elaine who was really good at explaining things thoroughly and calmly which made me feel a lot more confident about a potential situation with my own baby that might require first aid.

Emily delivered a first aid course for my sons football team and she was great from
the point of booking to delivery of the session. Pitched at ever right level for all the kids aged 7-11 and a good mix of discussion and activity. All the kids loved it. My son came home and told his dad all about it and even demonstrated how to get him into the recovery position and what to do if he was burned
