I recently completed a paediatric first aid course with vital skills and found it to be extremely valuable. Christie, the trainer, was knowledgeable and personable, and she made the learning relevant to our specific work field in education.
The course itself was detailed and very practical, giving plenty of opportunity to apply what we were learning. As a result, I feel my knowledge has significantly improved, and I’m now much more confident in delivering first aid in my role.
I would highly recommend this course to others.

I recently completed emergency first aid training at school with Vital Skills First Aid Training, and it was a really useful experience. The session was clear, interactive, and focused on practical skills like CPR, defibrillator use, and helping someone who is choking.
Christie explained everything in a way in which everyone could understand, and the hands-on practice helped build confidence.

Sophie Cutts
I recently completed the Paediatric First Aid course with Vital Skills First Aid, and I can confidently say it was one of the most valuable and empowering training experiences I’ve ever had.
From the moment the course began, the instructor created a welcoming, supportive environment that made it easy to engage, ask questions, and really absorb the information. The trainer was incredibly knowledgeable, but what stood out most was their ability to explain complex situations in a clear, practical, and relatable way—especially when it came to handling emergencies involving babies and young children.
The course struck the perfect balance between theory and hands-on practice. We weren’t just listening—we were actively learning vital life-saving skills like CPR for infants and children, choking response, dealing with allergic reactions, burns, and much more. The practical scenarios felt realistic and gave me the confidence that I could step in and act quickly if ever faced with a real-life emergency.
What I appreciated most was how tailored everything was to paediatric care. It wasn’t just a generic first aid course—it focused specifically on the unique needs and vulnerabilities of children, which is essential for parents, carers, and anyone working with kids.
I walked away not only with a recognised qualification, but with genuine confidence and peace of mind. Knowing that I now have the skills to potentially save a child’s life is priceless.
I would highly recommend Vital Skills First Aid to anyone looking for professional, engaging, and truly impactful training. This course isn’t just useful—it’s essential.

I recently completed the Emergency First Aid at Work in Sports course with Vital Skills, and it was a fantastic experience.
The training was highly relevant to real sports situations, covering everything from common injuries to serious emergencies like head injuries and cardiac arrest. The instructor was knowledgeable, engaging, and created a supportive learning environment.
The hands-on practice, including CPR and AED use, really helped build my confidence. I now feel much more prepared to respond effectively in a sports setting.
I’d highly recommend Vital Skills to anyone involved in sport—this course is both practical and essential.
