Benefits of Learning Basic First Aid

The benefits of learning Basic First Aid are endless. By completing this course, not only will you be helping yourself by obtaining certification, but you will have the opportunity to help out your family and friends as well as your community, and the public in general.

We believe this online course will help you to develop a better understanding of the concepts of Basic First Aid. We believe that it is more effective and beneficial to the patient than classroom training because you have the opportunity to go over the course material at your own pace and schedule.


Online Training Advantages

The following is a list of reasons why we feel that our online training is better than traditional/in-person training:

1. Doing CPR on a manikin is really no different than doing CPR on a couch or bed mattress. Manikins are made of plastic and latex type materials, and do not accurately represent real human beings.
2. In-Person Instructors might be tired or not in a "teaching" mood that day, thus they may lack in instructional quality that day.
3. Our Online Training is done with videos demonstrations on real people. That way, students can see what CPR looks like being done an actual person, giving them the accuracy of human movement, anatomy, etc.
4. Online Training is more convenient for scheduling for large groups. People are busy and it is hard to find a time where people can all take a class at once.
5. Online Training is more cost-effective. Online training is less expensive than in-person training.
6. Online Training is more convenient for the student. Classes can be taken anytime (2 in the morning in your PJ's).
7. Online Training is consistent and of high quality.
8. Online Training is the new standard.
9. Over 500,000 people have been certified in CPR or First Aid entirely online.
10. Online CPR training has been used to meet the requirements for physicians, nurses, healthcare professionals, dentists, childcare facilities and instructors, etc.
11. With online training, students can go at their own pace, and re-read information if needed, re-play videos, etc.
12. ANYONE can become certified to teach CPR. You do not have to be in the medical field. You don't even have to have your GED. In-Person instructors may have limited knowledge and may not have done CPR before themselves. They may not have experience. May not be able to answer your questions.
13. REAL Paramedics and Emergency Medical Services Instructors designed this program.
14. Individuals with hearing impairments can use our program.
15. People with physical disabilities who are not able to take a class in person can use our online program to be certified.
16. People spread diseases by sharing dummies. Even when the dummies are cleaned with alcohol wipes, not all germs are killed. You can get oral herpes and other diseases from using dummies.
17. This way is more "GREEN" because you save on gas, paper, and other materials.
18. More people will be willing to be certified if it is easier and more convenient for them, resulting in more lives being saved.
