Adult First-Aid/CPR/AED plus Bloodborne Pathogens

This is a Blended Learning course, to be certified, you must complete the 4-hour online portion: watching videos and taking multiple-choice tests, before coming to the skills session! The link to access the online portion will be provided via e-mail after registration has been completed.

After successfully completing the 4-hour online course, come learn and demonstrate practical skills such as compressions, breaths, and using a trainer AED on CPR Manikins, but with a kinky twist: pup hoods, piercings, shibari, leather and metal harnesses, will need to be navigated instead of t-shirts. Learn and practice safely moving people to recovery positions if they faint while restrained to Saint Andrew's or other equipment. Practice First Aid skills such as applying splits and controlling bleeding. Discuss how we can prepare for medical emergencies before play.

Whether you need this certification for your profession, or are wanting to learn life-saving first aid knowledge as a Good Samaritan, this class will provide crucial skills and information to help out in emergency situations.
