Online Course In Basic First Aid
We always talk about what we would do if/when faced with an emergency situation. Unfortunately, it is all but guaranteed that we will be needed to provide first aid at some point. If there was an accident in your home or if someone collapsed as you passed them on the street, could you help? Could you perform CPR and keep someone alive until paramedics arrived?
Even if you’ve watched every medical drama on TV, many of us don’t know how to properly perform basic first aid including CPR. According to the American Heart Association, 88% of people who suffer a cardiac arrest out of hospital won’t survive. But their chances go up significantly if they are immediately tended to by someone who is CPR certified. In fact, it is reported that, if CPR is administered within the first two minutes following a cardiac arrest, the chances of survival double. Check out the St John Ambulance Australia website to see the online courses available, so you can learn a new skill that might actually help you save the life of someone you love one day.
Learn A Second Language Online
There are so many benefits that come from learning a foreign language. It improves our memory, helps us communicate better in our first language, increases our ever-shrinking attention spans, and even helps delay the onset of dementia! With language learning apps and a huge selection of foreign-language films available on SBS On Demand, it has never been easier to learn a new language. Simply by downloading an app like Duolingo and practicing for as little as 10 minutes a day, you’ll be well on your way to becoming bilingual!
