Care For Children First Aid Training

We especially welcome parents and school teachers to enroll in the Emergency First Response® Care for Children course. Our Thai and English EFR® trainers regularly conduct child and infant CPR first aid classes in Bangkok, Pattaya, and Phuket. The theory lessons and skill objectives are performance-based, which means there is no minimum age limit and if the student can understand, physically perform the required skills, and pass the final exam. Once a student has passed the final exam, they with receive a Personal Identification Card and a "Certificate of Completion".

The Emergency First Response Care for Children course follows the emergency considerations and protocols as developed by the Pediatric Group of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). Current members include the American Heart Association, the Australian Resuscitation Council, and the Resuscitation Council of Asia, and many others.

The EFR Care for Children course is an innovative CPR, AED and First Aid training course that teaches participants how to provide emergency care for injured or ill children (ages one to puberty) and infants less than one year old.

Participants learn about the types of medical emergency that kids face, and how that differs with adult conditions. The curriculum also includes the importance of attending to basic emergency situations with children, the intensified emotional aspects, secondary care for children, and preventing common injuries and illness that kids and toddlers are prone to.

Care for Children teaches you the steps and techniques for handling life-threatening emergencies. You will also learn how to prioritize emergency procedures using the AB-CABS memory word and monitor a child's Cycle of Care.
