First Aid Training Program design
This first aid training course is flexible and versatile in adapting to the needs of participants. Scenarios are utilized to be consistent with the work environments of participants (ie. office workers inner city vs field workers in Algonquin Park). The delivery is lively and fun, in a non-threatening environment and participants are evaluated and assisted throughout to minimize the anxiety associated with practical examination. Humour is used generously to maintain a relaxed atmosphere, and participants are encouraged to share their experiences. Each segment is delivered in a step-by-step logical fashion; theory, demonstration, and practice. The application of adult learning principles results in a highly interactive atmosphere. All of the essentials are covered from recognizing, assessing and controlling hazards to the application of life saving techniques.
The focus on learning is to consolidate a group of skills that can be applied in any emergency situation. This consolidation allows participants to be confident in the application of their skills and remain calm in highly charged situations; in the office, in the field, or in a restaurant with their families. Participants are encouraged to share their own experiences and the group is briefed on the importance of maintaining confidentiality.
