This course is ideal for Workplaces, Schools, and Childcare Settings where first aiders may need to assist both adults and children.

Combining both courses offers considerable saving in both staff time, having to arrange cover for absent colleagues and is a great deal cheaper than having to pay for two courses.

​It is recommended that the room size should be approximately 20 x 30 feet for a full 12-person course. The room should be large enough to seat all candidates comfortably in a semicircle formation. The floor space in the centre should be clean and uncluttered, as this will be used for the practical parts of the course. The trainer will also require a flip chart, if one is available.
