How long is the first aid course and in what format?

It is 8 hours. The theory can be live virtual or self-paced on the platform, but the CPR, bandaging and immobilization practice is always done in person at your workplace, with manikins and supplies. The most common format is blended: 3 virtual hours and 5 on-site, or all on-site in a single day.

Does it include a DC-3 certificate?

Yes. Every participant who completes the theory and passes the on-site practice receives a DC-3 certificate with the data required by Mexico's STPS. It is a workplace training certificate, not a medical certification, and the platform keeps the evidence for your safety programs and inspections.

What do we need to have ready for the practice?

A space with a floor where people can kneel, preferably with mats. Geedle brings the manikins, the training AED and the bandaging supplies. If your company has its own first aid kit and AED, we use them so that the practice is done with the real equipment.

How do we review the CPR steps months later?

With Geedle Bot, our artificial-intelligence agent trained on the course content and recordings. If a brigade member wants to review the compression rhythm or how to use the AED, they ask and the bot answers by taking them to the exact minute and second of the recording where the instructor demonstrated it.

Technical skills courses

First aid course for companies

A workplace first aid course for brigade members, supervisors and any employee who may be the first to reach an emergency in a plant, office or warehouse. Clear theory, plenty of practice with manikins and scenarios from your own workplace, an AI agent to review between sessions and a DC-3 certificate filed with Mexico's STPS.

What is the workplace first aid course?

It is an 8-hour program that prepares employees and brigade members to act in the first minutes of a workplace emergency: assess the scene, call for help, perform basic CPR, use an AED, and handle bleeding, burns and common injuries. The theory can be virtual or on-site; the hands-on practice with manikins is always in person, with a DC-3 certificate.

Who is this course for?

Emergency brigade members, safety and hygiene staff, shift supervisors, receptionists, security guards and employees in areas with risk of cuts, falls, burns or electrical contact. No previous knowledge is required; the course starts from zero and is adapted to the specific risks of your workplace.

What changes in the operation after the course?

Brigade members who know what to do and what not to do in the first minutes, a first aid kit checked and placed where it is needed, a clear procedure to call outside help and communicate the emergency, and training evidence for your safety programs. The response stops depending on whoever remembers something they saw in a video.
