What would you do?

Our Child First Aid Course in Singapore is designed to prepare you for moments like that.

MHI Training spent more than 16 years teaching parents, caregivers, and childcare professionals. We’ve successfully brought over 10,000 participants into our training program, which is also approved by SkillsFuture.

What is a Child First Aid Course?

In Singapore, our child first aid training program walks you through the common concerns faced by parents. These include how to handle a situation where your child chokes during a meal, has difficulty breathing, or falls.

The program includes BCLS+AED, Standard First Aid and Child First Aid, as well as how to give CPR to a child and how to handle a choking child.

Our classes are very practical, and the class size is limited to a minimum of 4 individuals and a maximum of 16. This allows you to get individual attention. Once you complete the child CPR and first aid course, you will be awarded a recognised first aid certificate that is valid for two years.

You will have the skills to perform CPR on a child. This includes an infant. When your child is having a bad time, you know what to do.

Who Should Attend This Course?

The course would be very beneficial to parents and grandparents.

The training program is also best suited for domestic helpers or babysitters. It also goes for childcare educators or preschool staff, where first aid for child care providers is often a fundamental requirement.

We also see HR managers enrolling their teams where first aid child care training supports a safer environment.

What Child Emergencies Will You Learn to Handle?

Children are curious. They run, climb, eat too quickly. Most often than not, it is harmless fun—but sometimes something goes terribly wrong.

How Do You Respond to Child Choking?

Choking is what most parents fear. A child can go from choking to not being able to breathe in a matter of seconds. The shock of hearing no sounds while coughing is something that no parent would want to experience.

During the course, you’ll learn child choking first aid techniques and practise them repeatedly. For infants under one year old, the response involves firm back blows and chest thrusts. For older children, abdominal thrusts are introduced.

You’ll also learn how to recognise when a blockage is severe, when to call for emergency help, and what to do while waiting. Many parents ask about a child choking first aid device, but the most important skills are still the manual techniques.

What Should You Do After a Child Hits Their Head?

In our course, we teach first aid for child care providers on how to deal with child head bump first aid and the signs that tell you if a bump is minor or if something is seriously wrong. Signs of concussion may include unusual drowsiness, vomiting, or confusion.

How Do You Handle Seizures or Nosebleeds?

Here's the thing about nosebleeds.

In class, we demonstrate the correct first aid for nose bleeding child technique—keeping the child calm, leaning them slightly forward, and applying gentle pressure.

We also cover seizure child first aid, including febrile seizures. You’ll learn how to protect the child from injury, place them safely in the recovery position afterwards, and recognise when medical attention is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you give first aid to a child?

The first step, of course, is to remain calm. Then you need to assess the situation. You may need to perform first aid for choking, bleeding, or even CPR. In our course, you practise these responses step by step.

When should you worry if a child bumps their head?

While a bumped head by a child doesn’t usually warrant alarm, there are times when the symptoms could signal a more serious problem. Worry if the child vomits, acts strangely, or falls asleep, acts strangely, or complains of a headache.

How can you teach a child first aid?

Start simple. The child could be taught to call for assistance, remain calm, and attract the adult’s attention to the person hurt.

Yes. Many of the people we teach are new parents and early childhood educators.
