eTraining’s First Aid & CPR Essentials course is a comprehensive 6-hour online training program that teaches essential techniques to respond confidently to medical emergencies in various settings. The course equips participants with life-saving skills including CPR, AED use, bleeding control, burn treatment, fracture management, and choking response.

Accidents can happen anytime, anywhere. Having the knowledge to administer First Aid and CPR could mean the difference between life and death. According to the American Heart Association, nearly 70% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen at home, and immediate CPR can double or even triple survival chances. Quick action in the event of injuries, choking, or sudden illness can prevent complications and save lives.

Important Note: This course does not provide certification. Students must complete a hands-on session with a local authorized First Aid and CPR provider to obtain certification. eTraining recommends contacting your local Fire Station or Emergency Services provider to find locations and schedules for the practical portion of your training.
