About Your Instructor
Advanced First Aid.
The ASHI Advanced First Aid course is designed for the person who needs or desires more First Aid training than Basic First Aid, but not to the level of Emergency Medical Response. It's perfect for corporate emergency response teams! This 17-21 hour Advanced First Aid Certification course presents many of the most common illnesses and injuries responders are likely to encounter.
Training Considerations
Advanced First Aid is available for groups of five (5) or more. Ten (10) students is our cut off point for a single instructor.
Ten (10) or more students require an additional instructor, and will incur an additional fee.
The course is not available for open enrollment at this time. However, we are taking agency/corporate bookings.
Course Timeline
The Advanced First Aid course is completed in two (2) consecutive eight (8) hour days.
Classroom training may be at the clients site or one that we help you choose.

Practical skills and scenario based training requires an indoor open space.
