First Aid students will learn to recognize a serious medical emergency and demonstrate the knowledge of how to access EMS. The student will be able to furnish temporary assistance until competent medical care is obtained or until the chance for recovery without medical care is assured. Hands-on skills are practiced through a variety of emergency scenarios. CPR is included in conjunction with the First Aid course to teach students basic life support techniques. AHA CPR certification may be achieved through successful completion of the course.
