Training Course

COST

$65.00

Live Fire

NO

Class Time

4 HOURS



Class Description

A great course to compliment a full day's training by adding Countering the Mass Shooter Threat class. Both classes can be completed in one day.

This class provides lifesaving skills for yourself, your family, and your community. Learn how to provide that critical GAP care from the moment of an incident until emergency medical services (EMS) arrive.

In this course, written by USCCA Chief Instructor (and certified firefighter and EMT) Michael Martin, we will explain the proper way to access a patient, the proper way to deal with significant issues such as serious bleeding, chest injuries, a compromised airway, spinal injuries, broken bones, and more. While it might seem unrealistic to translate what professional EMTs and paramedics are able to do in an emergency versus the things that non-professionals would be capable of, but in life threatening medical and traumatic emergencies, it all boils down to the same thing... sustaining the life of the patient until he or she can be delivered to the emergency room.

This course also includes a copy of the book: Emergency First Aid Fundamentals by Micheal Martin - a $30 value.

You will be provided with a 'USCCA Proof of Training Certificate' upon successful completion of this course.

Curriculum Description

Would you know what to do if you were deep in the wilderness, and a hunting companion sustained a penetrating chest wound from an errant round? Could you prolong the life of a loved one long enough for the ambulance to arrive if he or she had sustained a lacerated artery from a violent attacker armed with a knife?

While most Americans are comfortable dealing with the cuts and scrapes of everyday life, and tens of thousands have learned the Heimlich maneuver and CPR, most individuals would be a bit less comfortable dealing with severe, life-threatening injuries or illnesses when seconds count, and EMS personnel and the emergency room are minutes (or longer) away.

In this training course, Emergency First Aid Fundamentals, you’ll learn to not only understand the proper way to assess a patient, you’ll also learn in great detail the proper way to deal with significant issues such as serious bleeding, chest injuries, a compromised airway, spinal injuries, broken bones, and more. While it might seem unrealistic to translate what professional EMTs and paramedics are able to do in an emergency versus the things that nonprofessionals would be capable of, but in life-threatening medical and traumatic emergencies, it all boils down to the same thing — sustaining the life of the patient until he or she can be delivered to the emergency room.

If you’re ready to become your family’s first responder in all emergency situations, this training cannot be missed. During this training, you’ll do more than simply sit in a classroom learning about these topics, your USCCA instructor will work you through a dozen real world scenarios using simulated patients and the actual products (or field expedients) that you’ll need to understand if you hope to save a life.
