first aid training

Learning life-saving basics

First aid training is instruction in basic emergency medical care—treating injuries and sudden illness until professional help arrives.

Courses typically cover CPR, wound care, choking response, and recognizing heart attacks or strokes.

All lifeguards must complete first aid training.

Many workplaces require it; certification usually needs periodic renewal.
