1. What is the difference between Emergency First Aid with Level A CPR and Standard First Aid with Level C CPR?Emergency First Aid with Level A CPR is the basic First Aid course (1 day). It covers scene survey, severe bleeding, burns, eye injuries, medical conditions, CPR for adults and Automated External Defi brillation (AED).

Standard First Aid with Level C CPR (2 days) goes over everything the Emergency class does as well as secondary survey, bone & joint injuries, chest wounds, wound care, hot & cold injuries (heat stroke, hypothermia, etc) and CPR for adults, children, and infants, as well as two rescuer CPR and AED.
