Frequently Asked Questions

Can we bring our baby?
If possible, it is best to leave the little ones at home. That being said, we understand that this is not always possible. Babies are welcome if they are in your arms or their car seat. We only ask that everyone be considerate of the other participants. In other words, you may need to step out for a minute with your little one if necessary. The classroom is not be well suited for toddlers or children.

Will participants receive a certificate at the end of the class?
This is a non-certification course. By offering it as such, we can drastically reduce the cost and time associated with completing the course. We cover the same information from the 2 day course as it relates to infants and children. This is not the type of course that one takes for work. This is a course that participants take to increase their confidence and knowledge so that they know what to do if something happened with their little ones. Our goal is to equip our students with tools and a plan. We do however offer all levels of Red Cross certification courses if that is what you are looking for.

Do you offer private courses?
Absolutely! We frequently offer private in-home courses. This is a great option if you would like to have your family involved in a training session or if you would enjoy learning in a more intimate setting with a group of friends.

Enjoy learning from the comfort of your own home. Gather your your friends and family for an informative and interactive class with a registered nurse and first aid instructor who will travel to your location. Have all of your questions answered and feel more confident in your abilities to appropriately respond to many different emergency situations.

If you have a large group, we can help arrange the rental of an appropriate facility to host your class.

What Our Clients Are Saying

  • Steph OliveiraPrivate First Aid for Parents

    My family and I couldn't be happier with the infant course and Jen's profesionalism. We have a preemie baby with some breathing concerns and everyone in my family feels much more confident that they can help our little man if an emergency were to occur. Very informative and simple enough for my 12 yr old niece and 70 yr old father-in-law to follow. All COVID protocols were followed.
    Thanks again, Jen!

  • Krista KilreaPrivate First Aid for Parents

    Recently took a CPR and first aid course through National Capital First Aid. It was wonderfully done - we organized a private class of new mamas, pregnant mamas, new dads, dads-to-be, and new grandparents. The instructor Jennifer came to us and did the course in a backyard with all COVID protocols in place. Very well executed and the course content was perfect - focused on infant and child injuries. 5 stars for the company and for Jennifer as an instructor!

  • Veronique LaportePrivate First Aid For Parents Class

    It is unbelievable how much piece of mind my family and I now have after having completed a private in-home course (First Aid for Parents). The instructor and owner, Jennifer, was extremely knowledgeable and personable. The comprehensive 2-hour course was easy to understand and highly interactive. We highly recommend that parents and extended family (e.g., grandparents, aunts/uncles, etc.) take a look into some of the courses offered by this great organization. You won't regret it!!

  • CandaceFirst Aid For Parents

    " We had Paula teach the First Aid for Parents class last night. She did a great job and was so helpful with answering questions. We were a group of home daycare providers and new parents.  A great course for anyone dealing with little ones, and a great refresher for people that have taken a complete first aid course. "
