Going with the idea that it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it, everyone should learn about First Aid, CPR, and how to use an AED. (Automatic External Defibrillator)

When used properly, giving First Aid, knowing CPR, or how to use an AED can mean the difference between a rapid or slow recovery, a temporary or permanent disability, or life and death. Learning First Aid also means that you will know how to help yourself! Knowing what do do in a medical emergency will also lessen the stress, shock, and panic of an encounter, which will allow the injured person to receive help sooner.

Through live instruction and skill stations, you will become comfortable in applying First Aid treatment to a variety of injuries or conditions. There will also be a short test at the end of the course.

Included in the course will be a student guide.
