Note about babies at public courses

Due to venue restrictions, babies and children are unable to attend these courses. As we navigate a new COVID-normal world, we need to ensure that we adhere to strict social distancing policies.

Also, babies deserve a lot of love and attention and this will ensure that you and every other participant is able to soak up as much life-saving education as possible.

If you are unable to organise care for your little one, we recommend checking out our in-home course options.
