1 We are interested in increasing first?aid skills, so that we willreally be able to help if a loved one or a stranger is injured or sud?denly becomes seriously ill. There are many ways we can improveknowledge in this subject.
2 Those people uninterested in getting any type of certificationcould begin by studying free online resources that explain the basicdetails of first aid. Such resources are found through online siteslike Mayo Clinic, and there are many videos on the Internet thatcan demonstrate first?aid procedures.
3 To get more training, we could enroll in classes. These may be taught by organiza?tions like the Red Cross, and private companies may offer instruction too. Some classes areonline, which means they can be taken at any time, and they can include testing for sometypes of certification. It should be noted that online first ?aid classes do not cover CPRtraining. This training must be performed at an onsite class.
4 More extensive(广泛的)classes exist to improve first?aid skills. If we plan to work atfire departments, or if we want to volunteer to help emergency responding organizations, wemay need to study for a longer period. We might need to take classes aimed at reallyimproving first?aid skills that include 40 hours or more of instruction and practice time.Those with this additional knowledge are prepared to do things like helping deliver babiesand moving injured people. Volunteers with organizations like the Red Cross that are visibleafter man?made or natural disasters are typically people who have this advanced first?aid training.
5 For those without the time to take classes, its still recommended that we should atleast do some online reading to improve first?aid skills. A whole family could take this upand help each other with quizzes and conversation. It can also be useful to keep a first?aidcard on hand, which can serve as a reminder of what to do for different types of injuries.Though learning and practice is preferred, some knowledge is certainly better than zerounderstanding of first aid.
