First Responder

Recommended Posts

Hello all did some searching and could not find the information I was looking for.

I am a Executive Protection Specialist (glorified name for Bodyguard). I need to take a First Responder course (more intensive than ARC first aid/cpr but less intensive than EMT Basic)

I am in Ft Myers Florida and could not find anything in this area. Anyone in Florida ever taken such a course and if so can you please point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance

Just take the EMT course and make your resume more impressive than others...unless you were just looking for a very quick weekend class and time is a factor.

Take the 2 week emt basic class. Sure someone can link you to some of those.

I know for sure EMT-Bs can administer oxygen, place oral and nasal airways, as well as combitubes. Not sure what else.

First responders can't?

Here the 40hr FR course gets you:

O2, Defib, OPA, NPA, Backboarding, KED, Traction Splint and Vital Signs (including BP) training

Only thing they don't get that you mentioned is combitube

Red cross cpr, aed and first aid courses should meet your needs and unless you are caring the airways, back boards and O2 what good is it to you?
