First Aid & CPR Training
Be ready to act when every second counts
First Aid & CPR Training
Emergencies can happen anywhere; at home, at work, in transit, and within healthcare or community settings. First Aid & CPR Training at Alpha Career College gives you clear, practical skills to respond quickly and calmly during medical emergencies. You’ll practice step-by-step actions that can help save a life before professional help arrives.
Why This Training Matters
In many emergencies, the first person on the scene is not a doctor or nurse; it’s a family member, a co-worker, a PSW, a shelter worker, or a passerby.
Immediate, effective first aid and CPR can:
- Maintain breathing and circulation
- Prevent a situation from getting worse
- Provide comfort and reassurance until paramedics arrive
This training supports safer workplaces, homes, and communities.
