  • Who Can Attend? Our goal is to have 90% of your staff instructed on how to handle a medical emergency in the work and home environment.
  • This training is an in-depth training on life threatening emergencies only. We do not teach how to sling an arm or clean a wound, these are not considered life threatening. We teach important life-saving skills.
