First aid is the skill set you are statistically most likely to use: cuts, burns, sprains, allergic reactions, seizures. This course teaches practical response for both adults and children, fully online, in about an hour.

It is the right pick when first aid is the specific requirement, or when you are already CPR-certified. If you need both CPR and first aid, the combo course earns both in one sitting for less than buying them separately.

Like every course here, it comes from a real training company: an AHA Training Center company teaching since 1998, with a named instructor and a certificate your employer can verify.

Who this course is for

  • Parents, guardians, babysitters, and nannies who want practical injury response skills
  • Employees needing general workplace first aid training their employer accepts online
  • Teachers, volunteers, and community leaders in roles that do not require EMSA certification
  • Anyone already CPR-certified who wants to add first aid

What it covers

  • Bleeding control and wound care
  • Fracture and sprain stabilization
  • Burn management
  • Asthma, allergic reactions, and anaphylaxis
  • Diabetic and seizure emergencies
  • Shock response and emergency action steps

Why this certificate is worth trusting

  • AHA Training Center company

    A-B-CPR & First Aid Training Inc has been an American Heart Association Training Center since 1998. That's decades of accredited instruction, not a domain registered last year.

  • A named instructor

    Every course is built and overseen by Mike Long, the same instructor who has taught thousands of students in person across Southern California. Most online cert sites won't name their instructor. We put ours on the About page.

  • Verifiable certificate

    Every certificate can be checked against our training records. No untraceable PDFs. Verify a certificate or view a sample before you enroll.

  • Honest guidance

    We'll tell you if online isn't the right fit for your job. Healthcare BLS, California EMSA childcare licensing, and OSHA-regulated workplaces typically need a hands-on skills check. We teach those in person through our parent brand.

How it works

  1. Enroll. Checkout takes a minute on our secure course portal.
  2. Complete the course online. Self-paced video lessons on any device. Pause and resume anytime.
  3. Download your certificate. Pass the short final quiz and your digital certificate is ready instantly.

Frequently asked questions

Does this course include CPR?

No, it is first aid only. If you need both, the Online CPR & First Aid combo covers both skills in one certificate for $29.95, which is why it is our most popular course.

Is this course accepted for childcare licensing in California?

No. Licensed California childcare providers need EMSA-approved training with in-person skills practice. Our parent brand A-B-CPR teaches that course in Southern California, and we link you straight to it.

How long does the course take?

About an hour for most students, fully self-paced on any device. Your certificate downloads immediately after you pass.

How long is the certificate valid?

Two years from the date of completion.

Will my employer accept an online-only first aid certificate?

Many general workplaces do; some OSHA-regulated roles require hands-on training. Ask your employer first, and if they need hands-on, our parent brand offers in-person and hybrid options.
