First Aid Training & Certification

First aid is the temporary help given to a sick or injured person, usually by a lay person, before professional medical help can be provided. This timely assistance is most critical to victims, and in most cases is life saving. A first aider's immediate response in the first 15 minutes, called the Platinum period is important.

Taking a practical course in first aid is the best preparation for dealing with an emergency. Basic training in first aid skills should be taught in school, in work places and, in general, be learnt by all, as it is mandatory to our modern and stressful life.
