You will learn the latest CPR guidelines and methodologies from our advanced first aid training, as well as train in using automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to resuscitate individuals experiencing cardiac arrest.

From novice to hero: Who should take advanced first aid training

Advanced first aid training caters to a diverse range of individuals who share a common goal: to elevate their knowledge and skills in first aid responses for complex situations. It can be for an everyday person who simply wants to be prepared for a crisis or for people who belong to high-risk environments, such as: 

• First aid responders — If you already have basic first aid certification and want to expand your skill set, this course is for you. Our advanced first aid training helps you prepare for more complex medical emergencies, such as advanced life support, overdoses and severe trauma.

• Search and rescue personnel — Members of search and rescue teams play a pivotal role in locating and assisting individuals in challenging environments. Advanced first aid skills allow you to provide critical care during rescue missions, whether in a remote location such as the mountains or an area struck by natural disasters.

• Workplace safety officers — If you are responsible for maintaining the safety of your workplace and colleagues, you need advanced first aid training. Safety officers can enhance their capacity to respond to workplace accidents and foster a safer and more secure work environment. 

• Outdoor enthusiasts — For people who enjoy land and water activities, the great outdoors can sometimes pose unforeseen challenges. Advanced first aid skills are critical when accidents occur in remote landscapes, as medical services might not be readily available. With our training, you’ll gain the tools to manage injuries and medical crises when far from conventional medical facilities.

• Parents and caregivers — The well-being of your loved ones is a priority, whether you’re a parent or a relative’s caregiver. Our advanced first aid course offers you the peace of mind that comes with being prepared for emergencies, especially if you care for young children, elderly adults or individuals with medical conditions.
