If you are part of a Church Safety Team, a church staff member, a firearms instructor, or simply an everyday person looking to be prepared, this course is designed for you. As a responsible individual, it’s crucial to learn CPR, AED use, and Basic Trauma Care, including how to properly apply a tourniquet, control severe bleeding with hemostatic techniques, perform basic triage, and become CPR certified.
