First Aid Training With KC First Aid Will Prepare You For Many Kinds Of Emergency Situations

Today, many first aid training courses are “blended,” which means a substantial portion of the instruction occurs online. However, traditional, instructor-led training which allows participants to complete the coursework in one setting is available for large groups or corporate settings with KC First Aid in the Kansas City area. Once you’ve completed the required lessons and passed the accompanying skills, you’ll complete your certification with hands-on, in-person training.

KC First Aid specializes in teaching first aid training, with both public and private classes throughout the Kansas City and surrounding area. Classes offered include Heartsaver Adult First Aid, Heartsaver Adult First Aid with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillators (AED), Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid, and Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid with CPR and AED.

The American Heart Association is the recognized authority in resuscitation science and first aid training.  The American Heart Association and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have formed an alliance to help raise awareness about heart disease and stroke.

This American Heart Association Heartsaver Adult First Aid course was developed on the basis of evidence-based guidelines.  It is a modular course that includes essential information and training in the first-aid skills recommended by OSHA and provides the skills to effectively assess and maintain life from the critical minutes immediately following an emergency, until the arrival of emergency medical services personnel.

As part of your first aid training with KC First Aid, you’ll first learn what your role as a provider is. As with CPR training, you’ll also learn how to recognize an emergency, why it’s important to offer to help, how to move an injured person safely and effectively, and the importance of standard precautions and protective barriers. You’ll also learn how to conduct primary assessments on responsive and unresponsive individuals which will, in turn, help you determine the best form of treatment. 

These first aid training courses in the Kansas City area are for people assigned to respond to emergencies in the workplace or community as well as those who want to learn first aidSome rescuers are required to take this course as part of their employer’s efforts to comply with OSHA regulations, for example, corporate employees, security guards, airline personnel, teachers, lifeguards, personal trainers, massage therapists, scout leaders, and other individuals who want or need first aid training.
