First Aid, CPR, AED

Instructor Development Course

It can take paramedics 12-13 minutes to arrive after a 9-1-1 call is made. Knowing appropriate action to take in an emergency until professional help arrives is critical in saving lives. This course is an excellent choice whether you have an entire company to train or just a few employees. NSC uses the Video-Self-Instruction (VSI) method for teaching skills in this course.
