Play First Aid Hero.
An interactive, step-by-step walkthrough of the skills that save lives — CPR, choking, bleeding, burns, and shock — then prove it with a quick quiz. No reading required.
Prove what you know.
When you're ready, sit the free First Aid Certificate of Comprehension — thirty questions drawn at random, 80% for Silver, 90% for Gold. Pass and you earn a serial-numbered certificate anyone on Earth can verify — no account, no cost, ever. It proves you understand the material; it is not a substitute for hands-on training from the American Heart Association or the Red Cross.
Before you begin — one honest word.
These books teach the fundamentals, and they could help you save a life. They are education, not medical advice, and they do not replace hands-on certification from the American Heart Association or the Red Cross. In a real emergency, call 911 (or your local emergency number) first — then act on what you've learned.
Knowledge weighs nothing. Share it.
Send these free books to the people you'd want trained if the worst day came — your family, your neighbors, your crew. A prepared community is the strongest first responder of all.
