Basic First Aid (RSV)

Basic First Aid was created to help students develop basic first aid knowledge, skills, and the confidence to respond. The program is an excellent choice for both the community and workplace setting and is consistent with recommendations of the 2020 National First Aid Science Advisory Board and OSHA’s best practices for first aid training programs in the workplace.

Participants develop Basic First Aid knowledge, skills, and the confidence to respond to emergencies. An objectives-driven, skills-based program that covers emergency response, severe bleeding and shock, soft-tissue injuries, bone, joint, and muscle injuries, medical emergencies, heat and cold-related illness and injury, and more. This is an excellent course for most communities, organizations, groups, and individuals seeking to gain proficiency in handling First Aid necessities during an emergency while professional help is on the way.

How Remote Skills Verification works:
When you purchase the Basic First Aid Remote Skills Verification (RSV), we will send the video link to your email, and another link to schedule your skill assessment within the same link.  When you complete the online segment of the class, we will deliver your equipment to your front door within a few days of your scheduled skills assessment. On your scheduled day you will need a computer with a camera and microphone to interact with the instructor online.  Upon completion, you will receive your certification.
