In an emergency, every second counts. If the time ever comes, you’ll be able to take meaningful action by learning the basic first aid, CPR/AED, and lifesaving techniques taught in this course.Our Emergency First Aid Fundamentals course teaches you basic first aid and lifesaving techniques to be used in the event of a medical emergency, like a car accident, serious fall, gunshot wound, or other medical emergencies.
