Our specially designed Baby First Aid course provides the essentials to help cope with an injury or emergency. Run in partnership with British Red Cross, the course helps parents and raises much needed funds.

NCT Baby First Aid courses are delivered by quality-assured British Red Cross trainers. Taking Baby First Aid training can help build your confidence as a parent, whether your child is under one year old or an older child of up to twelve years.
"Being a nervous new parent who has never done a Baby First Aid course before, this made me feel more confident, calmer and more assertive."
What to expect
Our highly trained British Red Cross partners deliver a 2.5 hour session for small groups of new and expectant parents. You can even attend with your babe in arms (under six months old).
Topics covered include:
- Unresponsive baby and child (breathing and not breathing)
- Choking baby and child
- Bleeding
- Burns
- Raised temperatures
- Meningitis
Other First Aid courses
Some of our local NCT communities work with local providers (other than British Red Cross) to deliver first aid training and help prepare parents for their little ones’ mishaps. You can check who is delivering the first aid course when you do your local search.
