first aid certification

Lifesaver's official qualification

First aid certification is official recognition that someone has completed training in emergency medical care for injuries and sudden illness.

Courses typically cover CPR, wound treatment, and responding to choking or cardiac arrest.

Certification usually expires after one to three years and requires renewal: My first aid certification lapsed, so I need to retake the course.
