Standard First-Aid Class Offered by Community Extension
College of the Canyons Community Extension Office is offering a six-hour first-aid class that will help update general first-aid skills for those who haven't practiced their skills in a while. The class will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19.
The course, taught by Raymond Burke, BS, CSFA, is targeted to lay responders and involves lecture, hands-on practice of victim assessment; treatment for bleeding and shock; treatment of wounds and burns; as well as dealing with head, spinal, chest, pelvis and abdominal injuries.
Burke, a certified instructor for the American Heart Association and American Red Cross, will also cover the treatment of fractures, sudden illness, poisoning, bites and climate-related emergencies such as hypothermia and heat stroke.
The fee for the Standard First Aid Class is $60. Advance registration is recommended. To get additional information or to register, call the College of the Canyons Community Extension Office at (661) 362-3304.
This is one of the many "fee-based, self-supporting" educational opportunities offered by College of the Canyons Community Extension and is not associated with the taxpayer-supported, credit classes offered by the college.
