Mon/ Wed 9am to 10:50am
This course is designed to introduce students to basic first aid and emergency care techniques.
First Aid and Emergency Care was designed to meet specific student needs either individually or within a program and is designed to transfer to other colleges and universities. KCC participates in the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI), a statewide transfer agreement for general education courses. All colleges and universities participating in the IAI agree to accept a collective “package” of IAI general education courses; transfer of courses separately is not guaranteed. For more information about IAI and the transferability of courses to specific four-year institutions, go to www.itransfer.org and MyCreditsTransfer/Transferology.
Upon completion of this course, you will have a better understanding of first aid and emergency situations and how to manage and treat such situations.
