It is totally up to you, but we definitely recommend coming before you have bub. This way, you can step into life's next big adventure feeling 100% confident.

The Tiny Hearts course has been designed to cover topics most relevant for children aged 0-8. In saying that, many topics such as CPR are applicable to all ages.

While we are a Registered Training Organisation, the Tiny Hearts First Aid course is a non-accredited course. However, all participants will receive a certificate of participation.

Requests for a course transfer must be made to our team before your anticipated course date. We understand that the unexpected can happen, and we will do our best to find an alternative course date for you to attend.
