The St. John Ambulance system of first aid training is designed with the needs of the workplace in mind. The modular concept is simple. All courses are based on a core set of lessons.
- Emergency Scene Management
- Shock, Unconsciousness and Fainting
- Choking (Adult)
- Cardiovascular Emergencies and One-Rescuer CPR (Adult casualty)
- Severe Bleeding
These are lifesaving first aid skills that every student should know and these form the core lessons in both the Emergency and Standard level first aid courses.
