I did a 3 day first aid course last week. It was really quite interesting and not that much of a learning curve. I did a AED (Automated External Defibrillator) course about 6 weeks ago. I learned how to preform CPR and use an AED, It’s easy but it’s all about the training so you will feel confident doing CPR and using the AED. The First Aid course was more intense and to be honest is all about common sense 
The company I did the course with was “Active First Aid Training” I would highly recommend them as they have practical experience, most of them been in the Ambulance Service, so they would be practicing what they teach day in day out. If someone reading this blog want to do a first aid course…Contact mauricewadding at eircom dot net of Active First Aid Training(Ireland only). I do now feel that if a situation arises, I would be able to use the skills that I had learned.
