First Aid

Most emergencies are not cardiac arrest — they are a deep cut, a bad burn, an allergic reaction or a fall. This class covers the injuries and sudden illnesses you are actually most likely to meet, at home and at work. You will pack a wound, apply a tourniquet, use a trainer epinephrine auto-injector and run a head-to-toe assessment, so the minutes before the ambulance arrives are spent helping rather than freezing.

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we hear most often before class. If yours is not here, call us — we would rather answer it now than have you book the wrong course.

  • Should I take First Aid or CPR & AED?

    They cover different emergencies. First Aid handles injuries and sudden illness; CPR & AED handles cardiac arrest and choking. Most workplace requirements ask for both, and we regularly run them back to back in one day.

  • Does this meet OSHA requirements for my workplace?

    It covers the training content OSHA expects for a workplace first aid responder. Requirements vary by industry and state, so send us your written safety plan and we will confirm the right combination of courses.

  • Do we really practice with tourniquets?

    Yes. You apply a real tourniquet to a training limb and to your own arm under supervision, because knowing how tight is tight enough is something you cannot learn from a slide.

  • How often do I need to renew?

    Every two years. Guidelines and best practice change between cycles, so a renewal class is not simply a repeat of the same material.

Still unsure which class you need? Call (510) 415-7963 or send us a message.
