What Instructional Method is Used?
 
Medic First Aid Basic introduced an innovative “seeing, hearing and doing” methodology for CPR/ First Aid training.

We create a low stress, confidence building, positive classroom environment, using cooperative learning methods. Student skills are evaluated by observation, not by a stress producing written test. With Medic First Aid Basic, confident students become confident volunteer responders in a medical emergency.
