First Responder Program

The Village Ambulance Service First Responder Program is a 40-hour (minimum) course developed to provide training in the provision of emergency care for those who are likely to be the first medical personnel responding to the scene of an accident, fire, or medical emergency.  The emphasis of the course prepares the responder to address immediate life threats and injuries until more highly trained personnel are available. 

This training is appropriate for professionals such as firefighters, law enforcement officers, school bus drivers, postal employees and large segments of industry such as factory workers. This certification is often used as a "stepping stone" or introduction to other levels of prehospital medicine.

Length:  Approx. 40 hrs.

Certification: $150 pp
