Emergency First Aid is a one day in-class course that covers the basics of how to approach and respond to an emergency. It prioritizes training for the most emergent situations such as Heart Attack, Stroke, Choking, and Head and Spinal injuries. It covers approximately half of the training provided in a Standard First Aid certification.
