Course Description
This advanced first-aid course provides comprehensive training to equip you with the skills and confidence to respond effectively in challenging emergency situations. Through practical simulations of real-life scenarios, you’ll learn how to coordinate and manage a response, provide advanced first aid care, and support multiple casualties until emergency services arrive.
The training covers a wide range of high-risk scenarios, including treating potentially fatal illnesses and injuries, extricating and moving casualties, managing head, neck and spinal injuries, and administering treatments for advanced conditions like hypothermia, hyperthermia, life-threatening bleeding, and shock. Instruction on basic first aid and CPR techniques is also included.
