Emergency Childcare First Aid (Blended)
Traditionally, the Emergency Childcare First Aid course is an 8-hour in-class training course. Blended first aid training is a combination of online training with a practical in-class, face-to-face skill session that provides the best of both hands-on and online training, with reduced in-class time.
