" Abso agree with you. It is time and money well invested. Mine is due for renewal. Little reminder, the First Aid certificates are valid for 3 years. ;-)" 30 mins after I was issued with my first 1st aid certificate many years ago, I had to use it, as I was driving, I saw a man collapsing on the pavement with no other pedestrian around, I stop and had to use it... nerve wrecking | |||

"A couple of schools I know make all year 10 students attend. I found it really useful. I think that's s great idea & I want to get involved so all schools offer this." St John Ambulance has a programme they offer to schools. Have a look at that programme and contact them about offering your help. | |||

"Instead of schools paying so much attention to teaching kids sport and French and other useless shite, they should be teaching First Aid, Basic fire fighting, how to act in an emergency situation and other life skills, as well as money management and similar stuff - knowledge which is actually needed after you leave school. I mean Algebra is fine and so are quadratic equations, logarithms tangents and cosines but I cannot recall using much of that after leaving the classroom in 1977. Ok I use Ohms Law sometimes but I learned that after I left school haha " Erm, those things are important for some roles and to deny children the chance to discover they are good at it seems a little odd. The rest of the post is a whole other thread so I won't hijack this one further. | |||

"Maybe not the place to post this , but something happened recently & made me think ! First Aid courses ... What a wonderful course to attend - you could save a life & make a difference. I for one will be attending one now ... & I'm chatting to my son - so children ( secondary age are more aware ) even a little read up on how to help in heart attack & strokes situations could make a difference to somebody's life. I'm just asking you to have a think ... Life is precious. " In my line of work it's one of the minimum requirements, along with fire fighting and sea survival. | |||

"With CPR something I will never get used to is feeling someone's ribs cave in. Just be aware of it. It's quite off putting and you have to just keep working through it. " They snap & crack. If they cave in then. Your pushing too hard! 5-6cm is the target 100-120 beats per minute | |||

"I've been trying to get 1st Aid courses taught in schools for years, but it's all down to cost & time. The only schools that have accepted this are the private schools. Your more likely to do CPR on a friend or family at home than in your place of work... But you'd be surprised that how many children think 911 is the number to call in a emergency!!! (Oh if your wondering 999, 112 or 911 work on our mobiles due to this!) " I'm hoping the schools will at least look into this ... I'm sure most parents would like the choice for the child to learn first aid & contribute to the cost. And thank you | |||

"Did a biker down course recently and learned loads. Agree with other post should be taught at both primary and high school. I first learned cpr as part of swimming lessons don't know if that still teach it. Myyoungest (17) is a certifed first aider as part of his college course. Passing the course counted to his qualification I believe." | |||
