The Elementary First Aid course is a combination of both theoretical and practical training. Students will learn bandaging methods, how to move and position a patient, and how to improvise with various materials to assist with this. Additionally students will be taught treatment of:
- Burns and scalds
- Bleeding
- Shock
- Broken bones
There is a very important practical assessment to the course where students are required to correctly carry out resuscitation on a CPR mannequin.
This course is governed under new regulations STCW78 as amended.
