Why do you need First Aid and CPR training?

The answer to this question is a simple one – because accidents happen, and when they do there won’t be time to watch You Tube videos on what to do. All people should know how to deal with emergencies.

  • Research shows that early bystander CPR is the factor that often determines whether a person survives and incident like a heart attack or a near drowning.
  • All parents, family members and caregivers of young babies and children should be able to manage simple injuries and to perform CPR safely and effectively.
  • Although an accident can happen to anyone, small children forms the highest risk group.
