Accidents and medical emergencies can strike at any moment. Whether you are at work, at home, or in a public place, knowing what to do can mean the difference between life and death. That is why this free First Aid, CPR, and AED training course exists to give you the confidence and skills to act fast when it matters most.
This course blends clear theory with hands-on practice. By the end, you will know exactly how to respond in a real emergency calmly, correctly, and quickly.
Before you help anyone, you must first protect yourself. In this section, you will learn how to assess a scene for danger, call for help, and decide on the safest way to approach a victim. Taking these steps first prevents one emergency from becoming two.
CPR keeps blood flowing to the brain when the heart stops. However, the technique differs depending on the victim’s age. This course teaches you the correct hand placement, compression depth, and rescue breath ratio for adults, children, and infants all aligned with the latest international resuscitation guidelines from organizations such as the American Heart Association.
An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can restart a heart in cardiac arrest. Despite this, many people feel nervous about using one. This module walks you through every step from powering the device on to delivering a safe shock. You will also learn where AEDs are commonly found in public spaces.
Time is critical when someone experiences a heart attack, stroke, or seizure. Therefore, this section focuses on spotting the warning signs early. You will learn the FAST acronym for strokes, the classic signs of a heart attack, and how to keep a seizure victim safe until help arrives.
Cuts, fractures, burns, and poisoning all require different responses. As a result, this module covers each scenario step by step. You will learn how to control bleeding, immobilize a fracture, cool a burn correctly, and what to do and what not to do in a poisoning case.
Choking can become fatal within minutes. Fortunately, a few well-executed maneuvers can clear an airway completely. You will practice the Heimlich maneuver on conscious adults and children, as well as back blows for infants and adaptations for unconscious victims.
First aid skills save lives yet most people never receive proper training. According to the World Health Organization, timely bystander CPR can double or triple a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival. In addition, workplace regulations in many countries now require employees to hold a valid first aid certification.
By completing this course, you join a growing community of prepared, responsible individuals who are ready to step up in a crisis.

First aid refers to the emergency or immediate care you should provide when a person is injured or ill until full medical treatment is available. For minor conditions, first aid care may be enough. For serious problems, first aid care should be continued until more advanced care becomes available.
The decision to act appropriately with first aid can mean the difference between life and death. Begin by introducing yourself to the injured or ill person. Explain that you are a first aid provider and are willing to help. The person must give you permission to help them; do not touch them until they agree to be helped. If you encounter a confused person or someone who is critically injured or ill, you can assume that they would want you to help them. This is known as “implied consent.
Medical problems can range from very minor to life-threatening emergencies. Rescuers trained in first aid must be prepared to respond appropriately.
First aid providers are often called to assist with traumatic injuries. Knowing how to respond to a variety of situations is important for first aid providers. First aid responders are valuable in providing initial care and assisting more skilled providers in delivering care to the seriously injured persons.
This lesson explains how to provide first aid for common outdoor/environment emergencies bites and stings (including ticks and snakebites), heat illness, sunburn, frostbite, hypothermia, and toxin/poison exposure focusing on warning signs, immediate care, and when to call EMS.
This lesson teaches how to recognize cardiac arrest, perform high-quality adult CPR (compressions and breaths), use a mask and an AED safely, activate EMS quickly, and manage choking in adults with abdominal thrusts and CPR if the person becomes unresponsive.
Children have breathing difficulties more often than they have actual heart problems. Therefore, it is important to begin CPR quickly and perform five sets of CPR for one rescuer or ten sets of CPR for two rescuers before going to get additional help. One set of CPR for one rescuer consists of 30 compressions and two breaths, and one set of CPR for two rescuers consists of 15 compressions and two breaths.
It is important to begin CPR immediately and perform two minutes of CPR before going to get additional help.
If someone else is available, send them to call 911/EMS and to find an AED. One set of CPR consists of 30 compressions and two breaths for one provider or 15 compressions and two breaths for two providers. When the second rescuer returns, have them follow the AED prompts, apply AED pads and help with CPR.
If the infant is unresponsive and not breathing or only gasping for air, provide CPR.
