Providing high quality and accredited first aid courses
Why take a first aid course?
Maybe you need it for your work place but it’s much more than that, it’s for situations that you may come across, it’s for keeping your kids, grandkids and family safe and knowing what to do if they or you have an accident or are suddenly taken ill. You can feel prepared to help others when others around you may not be able to help.
On a Moonbeam Training course, you cover baby, child and adult training regardless if you are completing an adult or paediatric course, we don’t live in isolation and I want you to go away with the most comprehensive learning I can give you in a day and the ability to help all ages.
Moonbeam Training offers Ofqual regulated qualifications accredited by Qualsafe Awards and delivered by a highly qualified experienced First Aid Trainer and Nurse (First Aid is no longer regulated by the HSE).
”A thoroughly enjoyable course with high quality teaching and learning observed. Karen had a calm and relaxed manner which quickly put the learners at ease. She demonstrated excellent subject knowledge which she used to good advantage when answering learner questions and clarifying concepts to correct poor understanding. Karen interacted with learners throughout the course to offer support and encouragement in a positive way.

Introduction to Baby and Child First Aid
This introduction to baby and child first aid covers the most common accidents and injuries and provides you with the basic skills required to deal with them. The 2-hour session looks at how to deal with:
- Bumps, cuts and bleeding;
- Choking for babies under and over one year old;
- CPR;
- The recovery position;
- Head injuries and what to look out for;
- Getting to the hospital safely; and

I like to gear sessions towards the group and their specific needs. Therefore, to ensure you get the most out of your course, I limit groups to 10 people only.
