FREE Emergency First Aid Fundamentals class November 1, 2025 from 9am-5pm

Please register online at: Emergency First Aid Fundamentals - The Rescue Church Volunteers

The Emergency First Aid Fundamentals course ranks among the best I’ve encountered, I have taken and been an instructor for many over the years.

This class is not only OSHA-compliant (29 CFR 1910.151[b]), but also a top-tier experience that blends expert instruction with hands-on scenarios you’ll never forget.

What Sets This Class Apart:

Written by USCCA Chief Instructor Michael Martin, a certified firefighter and EMT, the 4–6 hour course cuts through the fluff found in most basic first aid classes. It dives deep into how to respond effectively to life-threatening medical and trauma emergencies with clarity and practical guidance.

You won’t just sit in a classroom listening to theory. You’ll get hands-on, scenario-based training—simulating gunshot wounds, car accidents, severe burns, falls, cardiac arrest, and more. 

You’ll use real gear and field-expedient substitutes, preparing your mind and your hands for when seconds matter. From commercial tourniquets and AEDs to improvised bandages and emergency moves, this course teaches what works in the field, not just the classroom unlike traditional first aid classes.

This is a Comprehensive Life-Saving Curriculum

Here’s what you’ll learn in the Emergency First Aid Fundamentals course:
