The Emergency First Responder course at CTS College serves as a crucial initiative to equip both individuals and the corporate community with essential emergency response skills. Focusing on the spectrum of emergencies that may arise at home, in the workplace, or within communities, the course sheds light on the risks and vulnerabilities associated with health issues, fires, natural disasters, and manmade hazards.
By integrating four key components - ECSI Standard First Aid, CPR and AED certification, Basic Disaster Preparedness and Management, Basic Fire Safety and an Introduction to Mass Casualty Management - the programme offers a comprehensive training platform. Participants not only gain practical skills in emergency response but also learn to mitigate risks, plan and prepare for potential crises and respond effectively to a wide range of emergency situations.
