Award in First AID & AED

The Award in First Aid & AED is aimed at equipping participants with the essential knowledge and skills to provide immediate help and potentially save lives during emergencies. The course covers vital first aid techniques and the proper use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). Participants will learn to assess and manage a range of medical emergencies, including cardiac arrest, choking, bleeding, and fractures.
