There are not nearly enough people in any walk of life who have had proper first aid training. This is borne out by statistics which show that countless numbers of people either lose their lives unnecessarily when they could have been saved, or suffer from more serious injuries than they need have, simply because those people around them at the time they really needed basic medical assistance did not have the skills or knowledge to help them.

Women, simply because they are the more caring and nurturing of the two sexes, should enroll in courses to learn all there is to know about first aid, so that they will be able to put into practice their knowledge if and when it is ever needed.

Listed below are 3 things women should know about first aid training and practices:

1. The number one point and one that should always be kept in mind is that nobody ever knows when a medical emergency will happen. Having even a basic knowledge of first aid may put you in a position to save a life, and there is nothing more important in life than that.

2. The second point is that you do not need great academic prowess to study first aid techniques. When you enroll on a course for first aid training, nobody will ask for your school examination results. On completion of the course you will be given a certificate, which is a great boost and confidence builder for those women who are not academically motivated.

3. Thirdly, studying first aid is a perfect way to increase your chances of getting a better job, because any employer would prefer to have on his staff someone who is able to deal with medical emergencies. Just having this qualification will put you way ahead of your competitors and you may just be selected ahead of other applicants who may even have better qualification, simply because of your specialized knowledge.

The great thing about first aid training is that you do not have to travel miles to find a course and attend it at specific times which may not suit a busy woman’s lifestyle. First aid training can be done at home, with the use of a computer. The modules are either downloadable or presented in flash format, so they can be accessed at any time of the day or night, at the learner’s convenience.

You are shown exactly what has to be done in each particular instance of an emergency, and the beauty of learning online is that you are able to repeat what is taught over and over again in your own time until you are sure you understand the procedure. In a course with real people, not grasping something the first time when it seems that everyone else does, may prevent you from asking the instructor to repeat the information and thus you may go on to slip behind and even lose confidence in your ability to perform the manoeuvres necessary.
