Private First Aid Courses

Great short hands-on practical course. We attended as grandparents! I loved that we got to work on dummies and could experience the amount of pressure needed for CPR and for choking. Feel more confident that in an emergency I would know be able to act.

Charlotte is lovely and knowledgeable, the course is well prepared and presented. 2 hours was the perfect amount of time to get practical experience and go over some theory. I like that the rest of the course is available online so that you aren’t stuck in a course all day. Highly recommend!

Charlotte was great at teaching us all the things we need to know. Its super helpful having the option to have a first aid course in your own home or friends home that is local to you, especially when trying to navigate around a baby! I found it super informative over a good length of time and feel so much more confident around child safety now! Extremely helpful having the live feedback on the CPR dummy to get a proper feel for how to do it too! Would reccomend to all new parents and grandparents!!

Super clear and practical first aid class. Would recommend for every new parent or anyone who cares for children.

The session gave me confidence to know what to do if something goes wrong (especially regarding choking and when to use CPR). The first aid manikins were really helpful to practice what we had learnt. Charlotte is a great presenter and lovely person! The take home resources she provided are super helpful and love how I can stick one of them on my fridge.

My little man also liked the baby manikin haha

Char was an excellent teacher and made all the information so digestible. I feel so much more confident now after her course, would absolutely recomend & Breath First Aid

Charlotte is very knowledgeable and informative and I really enjoyed the in person session. Recommend this to anyone!

We recently travelled from Tauranga to attend an in-person infant CPR course with Charlotte, after hearing so many great things about the & Breathe courses. It was well worth the trip.

Charlotte is warm, relatable, and incredibly knowledgeable, and we’re so grateful for the skills we’ve gained. Starting solids has been a bit of an anxious journey for me, but after the course I now feel much more confident. I understand my child’s reactions better and know how to respond if something happens.

Thank you, Charlotte 🧡

Our group did the First Aid for Babies and Children course and we all found it very helpful, interesting and informative. Charlotte made everyone feel at ease and we all feel confident to ask questions and make sure we were doing everything correctly. We would definitely recommend these courses to parents, caregivers and in our case grandparents. Thank you!

Had a private first aid course with Charlotte for family and friends. It was extremely informative and especially helpful for my partner and me as we’re preparing to become first-time parents ☺️

I recently completed the at home first aid course. Charlotte leaves you feeling empowered, and delivers the information in an easy to understand way. The format is digestible in a 90 minute session, without being overwhelming. Plenty of time to practice on the mannequins, and always times for questions too! Highly recommend.

Awesome! Just awesome! Charlotte is very knowledgeable and taught us exactly what I was looking to learn. Could not recommend more!

Charlotte was superb.

Highly recommend to everyone! The course was super fun and interactive! Charlotte kept us entertained, educated and answered all our questions with absolute confidence! 10/10

We did the first aid training with Charlotte today which was so awesome! I loved that they offer an at home training so that we didn’t have to go anywhere as we have a little baby. It was also great it wasn’t a full day of training like some other places. It was an hour and an half and so informative. The manacans were so cool to practice CPR on including baby ones. We booked this course as I am a first time mum with a new baby and have been so anxious about an emergency happening. I feel confident now if something was to happen. Thank you guys so much. Highly recommend!

Recently completed the Child and Infant first aid course through &Breathe First Aid. The whole experience was amazing, Charlotte was so informative and patient with all our questions. I was so worried to start solids with my LO but I know feel I have the skills and knowledge to feel confident. The practical work was so awesome and even more reassuring with the real time response dummies to practice on. Highly recommend this for every parent!

Great afternoon spent with Charlotte showing and learning first Aid for young one. Everything was explained really well. Would recommend this course to every parent with young ones.👍

I just finished the baby and child first aid course and it was incredible!! Only an hour and half so was the perfect amount of time to learn all the essentials. There’s also an hour of digital practice to do as well. It is the perfect way to combine theory with practical. I feel so empowered from all the knowledge and Charlotte was such a great teacher. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you’re a parent ❤️

Good course

My mother’s group took a private course with Charlotte and it was so helpful. Charlottes course had baby and child mannequins that were linked up to an iPad so it gave real time feedback on if your CPR compressions and breath work were adequate or not with Charlotte checking our technique individually ensuring we had it right. Also gave helpful information on how to go about starting solids and key things to look out for when it came to choking and allergies. I felt more confident starting solids with my baby after this course.

Couldn't recommend enough. Charlotte was professional, friendly and answered ALL our questions. She really knows her stuff, and has young children of her own.

The courses set us up for a successful introduction to solids and baby led weaning experience. I felt more confident and prepared as apposed to very anxious. I often refer back to my lifesaving handout notes on the fridge. As someone who has completed first aid courses for work before, they did not prepare me enough for my own baby. So a refresher dedicated to parents for baba’s, especially what to do when you are home alone was extremely valuable. Thank you & Breathe First Aid!

We did a private course and it thoroughly covered all key aspects of child safety. The delivery was excellent, with clear and easy-to-understand content and quick reference guides . The opportunity to practice safety procedures on mannequins was the highlight for me, making the experience both hands-on and highly effective for skill-building.

We were a group of 6 first time parents and it delivered what we wanted. Highly recommend this course for small groups.

Amazing course - practical, real world first aid. We took the course to prepare ourselves before going travelling for 9 weeks overseas with our 6 month old, and it could not have been better. Charlotte was an incredible teacher - her guidance based on what parents really need to know. Would highly recommend.

Awesome course, it was sooo helpful and felt so much more confident using blw. Highly recommend.

If you are looking for a fun and interactive educational lifesaving session, then this is your team. Char was really helpful in providing a supportive CPR/choking risk session for my in-laws. They now feel confident to care for their grandchild safely.

We did an in person life-saving essentials course with our coffee group recently. Charlotte and Teresa were amazing teachers as they made things easy to understand and were both friendly and approachable. It was very engaging and interactive and we went away feeling more confident in handling emergency situations. Highly recommend doing this course.

We did the course for myself, husband and Mum (Grandma to child) and it was so worth it. Everyone took away different key learnings. We loved the real time feedback for CPR so you truly know how hard and fast things need to be. The course is super comprehensive and well worth time and money, to be informed and keep your little one (and others) safe in the event of an emergency. Char had a lovely f2f approach and no question was "dumb", you don't know what you don't know and &Breathe want to you to be best informed and educated.
Absolutely my top reccomended infant, baby and child first aid course

My husband and I completed a private course from the comfort of our home with two friends and our sons who are 10 months old
Charlotte was informative and so patient with our little one crawling around
The realtime feedback from the mannequins was a game changer as we can confidently say we know what pressure to apply if ever needing to perform CPR
Thank you Charlotte ❤️

The private course is excellent. Our group were quickly put at ease by the lovely Charlotte who was willing to work around our little ones. Very informative but accessible info that has left me feeling comfortable and confident.
