LEARNING & CLASS PLANNING
Clear guidance. Practical learning.
Practice recognizing an emergency and providing initial care in the critical minutes before professional help arrives.
Training can be arranged at your workplace and combined with CPR/AED. Before class, we discuss your team’s roles and workplace situations so instruction emphasizes the emergencies your staff may encounter. Plan refresher training before the two-year completion card expires.
