Do you know what to do in an emergency?

First aid skills can be applied in the home, on the farm or in public locations; it allows those trained with the potentially life-saving ability to assist an injured or ill person during a variety of emergency situations.

With first aid training, you will learn various skills as basic life support (CPR), helping an injured person who’s unconscious, dealing with bleeding and shock, as well as burns, poisoning and choking. All of these skills can potentially help save someone’s life.
