About this course
CPR, First Aid & Basic Life Support is a free beginner course for anyone who wants to respond clearly during medical emergencies before professional help arrives. You study how to assess a scene, activate emergency services, understand the Chain of Survival, and apply adult, child, and infant CPR with safe technique.

The course is useful for students, parents, workplace safety volunteers, healthcare starters, fitness staff, caregivers, and non-technical learners who need a reliable first-response foundation. You also review stroke and heart attack warning signs, legal and safety responsibilities, and scenario practice for deeper BLS, first aid, workplace safety, or healthcare training. By the end, you understand why fast, organized action matters.
