This course includes initial assessment, disease prevention, secondary survey, airway obstruction, and adult CPR (Level A). This course will also cover recognition and first-aid treatment for head and spine injuries, shock, bleeding, seizures and broken bones.

    Awesome course. I've taken a course through St. John's, but I found the level of "hands-on" training more useful. The scenarios were a great learning tool and helps to reinforce the learning.
