Mental Health First Aid for Children Course Birmingham

First Aid For All has four trainers based in and around Birmingham, including the Black Country, and in the last year they have delivered onsite Paediatric First Aid, Emergency First Aid at Work and First Aid for Mental Health courses for a specialist care provider, a city-centre bar and a recruitment business. Onsite training is how we work in the West Midlands: the trainer comes to your premises, the course runs on a date that suits your team, and everything from the two-day paediatric qualification to a mental health first aid course can be arranged.

We do not currently schedule public course dates in Birmingham. If you need to train one or two people rather than a group, register your interest below and we will contact you when a Birmingham public date is arranged. Our current public dates are all in the north west and are listed below.
