The purpose of this program is to provide participants with training in basic life support and in the first aid management of the more common and/or more serious injuries or illnesses that may be encountered within the general community at home, the workplace or during recreation.

You will be trained in first aid procedures that should enable you to assist an injured or ill person until medical aid is accessed. Topics include: management of the unresponsive victim, resuscitation, bleeding, respiratory emergencies, cardiac emergencies, fractures, soft tissue injuries, head injuries, diabetes, epilepsy/convulsions, envenomation, poisoning, and thermal injuries. You will participate in both theory and practical sessions, which will be followed by a skills assessment and multiple-choice theory knowledge test.

After the competent completion of all of the required skills, you will receive a Statement of Attainment from DAN when the registration procedures have been completed. The program is accredited by State and National government recognition authorities under National Training Recognition Scheme.
