Is Basic First Aid Important?

First aid training is definitely an essential part of the workplace. Every business should have their employee’s first aid trained. Accidents can happen fast. Knowing what to do in an emergency situation could save someone’s life. Basic first aid training will let you stay calm and decide how to help. This could make a big difference for the injured.

Online Versus In Person

First of all, before we even get to answering the question, did you know there are different requirements based on where you live for first aid training?

If you are looking to get certified whether it’s in basic first aid training or CPR, make sure that the certificate is recognized by your local government. As well, If you’d like to be certified as having first aid training, most first aid training courses require an in-person component to receive a certificate.

Why?

There is usually a required in-person session to cpr aid training because it gives you hands-on experience with CPR and safe responses. This also provides the instructor with a chance to see you in action and correct any mistakes. In an online format, they can’t offer feedback. Completing an online course shows you understand first aid in theory but not necessarily in practice.
