This is a combined skill set course designed for child care workers and early childhood teachers.

This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to provide a first aid response in an educational or a care setting. It covers basic life support, management of casualty(s), the incident and other first aiders, until the arrival of medical or other assistance. It also provides advance training in the management and treatments associated with anaphylaxis and the use of auto injectors, asthma and childhood diseases.
