This comprehensive first aid training course is specifically designed for school staff, teachers, and administrators. It covers essential first aid skills and knowledge to respond to common emergencies and ensure the safety and well-being of students and colleagues. Parents are expected to trust teachers with their children for many hours a day, so much so that school becomes something like the children’s second home. So when a young student finds themselves in a medical emergency, it is the teacher’s duty to step in and protect that student’s life. Therefore, whether such an incident occurs in the playground, the cafeteria, or during an excursion, teachers are supposed to be well-equipped enough to deal with it against all adversities. That is why this course offers substantial knowledge of, as well as hands-on training in first aid that covers a broad range of common risks for school students and faculty members alike. This course should be conducted by certified instructors with experience in first aid training, and participants should receive official certification upon successful completion. Additionally, regular updates and refresher courses are recommended to maintain proficiency in first aid skills.
