    You’ll also receive training in how to manage the scene of an accident and prioritize lifesaving care in an emergency. 

     

    If you’re considering earning your first aid certification, an online course is a great choice. The online first aid training we offer is ideal for busy healthcare and lay professionals who don’t have time for in-person training. 

    Our online first aid training materials are available 24/7, so you’ll have unlimited access to the information you need to get your certificate. 

    Once you pass the first aid test, your wallet card arrive within 5-7 business days.

    Who Should Take This Course?

    This online first aid course is ideal for anyone who may be called upon to provide basic emergency medical care to those injured on the job or in the home, but who don’t need full CPR or AED training and certification. 

    This first aid course and certification program allows you to study on your own time. You can complete the test when you're ready, and earn your certification on a timeframe that works for you. Occupations that are especially suited to learning the first aid skills taught in this certification course include:

    • On-site safety professionals in construction, manufacturing, transportation, forestry, or corporate environments
    • Food and beverage workers
    • Electricians, carpenters, and tradespeople
    • Hotel employees and hospitality staff
    • Security staff
    • High school teachers and coaches

     

    How long does it typically take to complete an online CPR / first aid course and get certified?

     

    It depends on the certificate program, and on how you learn.

    Online and blended learning programs for skills such as CPR AED, Basic Life Support and first aid are designed to be flexible. You can start and stop the video, take notes, replay and review sections, and pause the program whenever you want.  How long it takes you to get through the training depends on how often you need to pause or review sections of the video.

    However, if you go through our certification course without pausing, we have about 45 minutes of video. People can and do pass the course that way.

    Why Earn Your Basic First Aid Certification Online?

    Great question. Here are a few good reasons:

    • Approximately 2.2 million people die from workplace-related illnesses and injuries each year. 
    • Accidental injury is the leading cause of death in the US for those younger than 44.
    • Every day in the United States, 15 workers die from on-the-job injuries.
    • Approximately 1/3 of all serious injuries occur at home in the U.S.; and about 20% of injury-related deaths occur at home. 
    • According to OSHA statistics, approximately 2.9 non-fatal workplace injuries and illnesses took place in 2016, including 892,300 cases that required employees to take time off work.

     

    Many workplace injuries and fatalities are preventable—and they cost a great deal, both to employers and employees. According to the National Safety Council, unintentional workplace injuries cost more than $127 million per year to companies, and an average of $980 per worker.

     

    Some of industries with the highest rates of workplace injury include:

    • Construction 
    • Transportation
    • Agriculture
    • Professional and business services
    • Government
    • Manufacturing
    • Mining
    • Wholesale and retail trade
    • Hospitality
    • Education and healthcare

     

    In industries like these, the need for someone on-site with a valid first aid certification is clear. But it's a good idea no matter where you work. Having someone at work or at home who is first aid certified can mean the difference between life and death.
