With live actors, realistic scenarios, distractions and more, the Practical Trauma Exercise will allow you to test your first aid skills in a safe environment. Aimed specifically at first aiders, this course is for those who would like to attend a dedicated practical session. Put your knowledge and abilities to the test, while having the option to pause the scenario, ask questions and receive additional guidance from our instructors.
