At some point in your life, you will be present during a medical emergency, whether you realize it or not.  The person may be suffering from a medical condition, a trauma, or choking on a bite of food that requires administration of basic, life-saving emergency CPR and First Aid care.  Your ability to recognize that a life-threatening emergency is occurring and provide care utilizing techniques and skills learned in this class could be the life-saving difference.  All students will leave this course with the knowledge and a 2 year certification from Medic First Aid to provide basic CPR and First Aid care, including use of the AED.

Following completion of this course, the skills you learn do not stop when you leave the workplace.  Your newly gained understanding, ability and certification to administer life-saving techniques can be utilized at work, home, and anywhere in-between.  You can be the rescuer that administers life-saving CPR to a stranger in the restaurant, your next door neighbor, or even a family member.  So please join us for class, share your experiences, and know that you will be well prepared to provide care for anyone in need!
