Class Enrollment

Victims can quickly die from uncontrolled bleeding within five to 10 minutes. Massive bleeding from any cause, but particularly from an active shooter or explosive event where a response is delayed, can result in death. Like how the general public learns and performs CPR, the public must learn proper bleeding control techniques, including using their hands, dressings, and tourniquets.

This course is based on the curriculum from BleedingControl.org, an initiative of the American College of Surgeons, to teach anyone the various ways to control bleeding.  After course completion, the student will have the skills and confidence to control bleeding, including properly applying a tourniquet.

Intended for construction workers, arborists, mechanical, teachers, police officers, and any individual who wants to learn more than what is taught in a First Aid class on controlling bleeding.

Fee:  $10

Time:  Approximately 1 hour

Certification:  Course completion certificate.

Testing:  No testing is required.
