First Aid

This practical course introduces essential first aid knowledge and skills for responding to common medical emergencies and workplace injuries until qualified emergency services take over. Participants learn to recognize hazards, protect themselves and the casualty, activate the local emergency response system, assess responsiveness and breathing, and provide appropriate initial assistance within their training and organizational procedures. The program emphasizes realistic scenarios, supervised skills practice, clear communication and timely handover. It is an introductory training course; any formal first aid or CPR/AED certification depends on the applicable accrediting body and separate assessment requirements.
