Class Price: $75.00
A First Aid course combines classroom instruction with extensive, supervised hands-on practice of life-saving skills, such as CPR on a manikin and bandaging wounds on a partner. Participants will gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to respond to common medical emergencies until professional help arrives.
 
 
Key Components and What to Expect
 
  • Theory and Knowledge: A significant portion of the course involves learning theoretical knowledge about first aid principles, legal responsibilities (like Good Samaritan laws), safety protocols, and how to recognize an emergency. You'll learn the steps for assessing a scene and an injured person (check, call, care).
  • Hands-on Skills Practice: This is a crucial part of the in-person training. You will practice specific skills using training equipment and on fellow participants under the guidance of an experienced instructor. This includes:
    • Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR): Performing chest compressions and rescue breaths on adult, child, and infant manikins.
    • Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Use: Practicing attaching pads and following the device's voice prompts.
    • Wound Care: Managing cuts, bruises, burns, and severe bleeding, including applying bandages and potentially tourniquets.
    • Injury Management: Assisting someone who is choking (Heimlich maneuver), placing someone in the recovery position, and providing first aid for fractures, sprains, and head/neck/back injuries.
    • Medical Emergencies: Recognizing and responding to signs of shock, heart attack, stroke, seizures, and allergic reactions (e.g., using an EpiPen trainer).
    • Environmental Emergencies: Learning how to treat victims of heat stroke or hypothermia.
  • Simulated Scenarios: Instructors often use role-playing and simulated scenarios to help you apply your knowledge and build confidence in a realistic, safe environment.
