Learning for a lifetime
A core group of training philosophies provides the foundation of MEDIC FIRST AID Training Programs. These philosophies influence the design and presentation of our courses, and help to create an effective and successful instructional system.
- Low-Stress Training—Student comfort is essential during training to better prepare students for actual emergencies. To that end, performance observation and positive coaching are foundational elements of our instructional approach.
- Easy to Learn—Our "seeing, hearing, doing, feeling" approach and user-friendly training materials simplify the learning process.
- Hands-On Practice—Our programs maximize skill retention by spending a significant portion of class time doing hands-on skill practice.
- Scenario-Based Practice—Unique Talk-Through Scenario practices provide students with the experience of making realistic decisions in simulated emergencies.
- Outcome-Based Evaluation—Instead of focusing on a single, rigid solution, students are evaluated on their ability to identify a suitable solution to reasonably resolve a given situation.
- Self-Discovery—MEDIC FIRST AID Training Programs emphasize small group skills practice, giving students the chance to teach each other in applied situations, which maximizes understanding and retention.
