First Aid Courses
Our most popularly enrolled courses are the National Safety Council’s first aid programs.  The course content, adheres to the most recent 2005 International Guidelines for CPR and First Aid training, and training is available for Standard or Pediatric First Aid environments.   Course training includes instruction and practice for CPR and First Aid, and lasts about 9 hours. For students who maintain separate but current CPR certification the course content herein can be limited to just the first aid skills. It is our recommendation, however, that CPR and First Aid be taught together as one course.
