Knowing how to help someone with an injury or illness can mean the difference between life and death. First aid treatment could prevent thousands of deaths each year in Ireland.

Recognising the signs and symptoms of an injury or illness and understanding how to administer first aid can help keep a casualty safe and prevent further harm before a qualified first aider or the emergency services arrive on the scene.

This online First Aid Essentials training course takes on average 90 minutes to complete and there are numerous instructional videos to break down important areas. These videos and the practical application of the information helps in visually showing the learner how to deal with an emergency or basic first aid situation.
