The time to learn to use your personal trauma kit isn’t when you or someone else is bleeding out!  When life expectancy is measured in seconds and help is minutes away, will you know what to do?

The course is two days in length with a total of 16 hours of classroom work, including slide presentations, videos, question and answer sessions and hands-on practical skills application.
