Introducing Children to the Basics of First Aid – Calm, Confident, and Capable
As those who care for and work with children, we understand the value of teaching life skills early - and few are as vital as first aid. The Mini Medics First Aid Course is a child-friendly introduction to essential first aid for children aged 7 to 11, designed to build confidence, calmness, and a sense of responsibility in young learners.
This course creates a positive, practical learning environment where children are encouraged to explore how to help themselves and others in an emergency. It’s not about frightening scenarios or overwhelming information - instead, it focuses on clear, simple steps that children can understand and remember. As teachers, we believe children thrive when they feel empowered - and that’s exactly what this course offers. It helps them understand that even at a young age, they can make a real difference in someone’s life.
Delivered by experienced, DBS-checked instructors, this hands-on session is supported by high-quality resources, interactive demonstrations, and lots of encouragement. Every child receives a certificate of attendance and an activity booklet to take home, reinforcing the key points in a fun and memorable way.
Teaching children first aid doesn’t just build practical knowledge - it strengthens their resilience, their empathy, and their sense of community.
Let’s help our children grow into confident, capable helpers—ready to care when it matters most.
