First aid classes teach individuals how to handle and take charge during a variety of emergency situations. During a medical emergency, bystanders may panic if they do not know how to properly react and respond. These classes provide instruction on the necessary medical steps required to aid individuals experiencing a potential poisoning, a heart attack, stroke, diabetes emergency, severe bleeding, a severe allergic reaction, and other emergency situations.

Instructors from the District provide step-by-step instructions on how to best respond to each situation. Participants learn how to check airways, create and apply a tourniquet, how to identify a potential stroke, etc. This class does not provide formal certifications; it is meant to empower and allow participants to understand the proper medical responses during emergency situations.
