After your first aid training in Philadelphia, it's important to keep the steps for providing care fresh in your memory. To help you remember the process correctly, we've developed a simple-to-review document that outlines the basics of first aid care. Look at them online anytime, or print them up and keep them in a binder, at your desk, or on your refrigerator, and refer to them anytime you need a quick refresher.

When it comes to first aid, it's important to know how to treat both kids and adults. That's why, in our Philadelphia first aid classes, we'll review the procedures for caring for adults separately from those that are applicable to kids. By doing so, our instructors make it easy to understand the differences when providing care so that you can help each person according to his or her needs.

Because children and infants require special care during times of crisis, our first aid classes in Philadelphia include detailed information on helping kids who are sick or injured. This way, you can provide children with the care they need in a way that won't cause further damage to their growing bodies.

At the Red Cross, we work to empower you with the most accurate, up-to-date information available. In order to ensure that you receive the best possible training, all of our courses and materials are developed under the guidance of, and reviewed by, the Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council. This means that whether you've signed up for first aid training in Philadelphia, want to take the class online, or are traveling with a group to take the class in another city, you'll get the same accurate, proven information.
