The Responding to Emergencies Comprehensive First Aid course is designed to provide individuals with first aid skills to care for those with life-threatening emergencies. The course provides an expanded, in-depth first aid format which allows participants to evaluate their progress in terms of skills competency, knowledge and decision making.
