I recently gained a qualification that allows me to be a
first aider in the workplace. I have been training for it in my general studies
lessons and took a 3-hour practical and multiple-choice exam. The practical
skills side of the course entails: being able to assess a situation and decide
the best course of action, the recovery position, chocking, CPR, using an AED
and how to deal with cuts and bandaging (among other things). I really enjoyed
learning about first aid and am glad that I now know what to do in case of an
emergency!
