Basic First Aid
Online Basic First Aid
ETD’s Basic First Aid Course will show you how to respond accordingly in a workplace accident.
Every year, 900 people die from choking, 2,500 people die from asphyxiation or a blocked airway and 29,000 people die from heart attacks. But we could prevent thousands of these incidents if more of us completed basic first aid training.
ETD’s first aid certification complements the compulsory formal training that first aid staff must undergo every three years. The course is also beneficial for those who don’t have any first aid training but need to learn how to respond effectively should an injury occur in the workplace.
