First aid is the immediate care for any person with injuries or sudden illness before professional medical treatment is available. It not only involves the injured person's physical condition and emotional state, but the entire emergency situation. This training course will focus on how to use a systematic approach to evaluate an emergency situation and respond to basic first aid situations prior to the arrival of emergency medical services (EMS). Note: This training should not be used as the primary basis for any first aid certification. It is intended to provide you with knowledge-based training only. This training should be accompanied by a performance-based component provided by a certified first aid instructor.
