First aid training is a valuable, life-saving course. Its main objective is not to treat people but to provide immediate attention to a sick or injured person at the scene. First aid helps prevent the situation from getting worse while waiting for full medical care. On completion of this course, learners will be: • Able to understand how and when to administer first aid • Able to provide appropriate treatment for the purpose of preserving life • Able to minimize the consequences of injury until the arrival of medical assistance • Able to provide appropriate treatment for an injury which does not require the attention of a medical practitioner or nurse • Familiar with health & safety legislation on first aid in the workplace (e.g., Contents of First Aid Box)
