🩹 Online Emergency Response Course
Respond fast, stay calm, and keep children safe in an emergency.
At The Au Pair Club, we know emergencies can happen anytime. One moment, everything’s fine. The next, a child is choking or hurt. That’s why we created our Emergency Response Course: to help caregivers stay calm under pressure, treat wounds, burns, bites, and broken bones, and respond confidently to medical emergencies.
This course is just R600 (about $30 USD) and takes only 5 hours to complete. You’ll get lifetime access to our Au Pair Academy, a downloadable certificate, and access to our Job Portal to find childcare jobs.
Whether you’re just starting out or want to refresh your knowledge, this course will help you become the trusted caregiver families rely on in an emergency.
