DAN Education has also completely redesigned the core provider courses featuring comprehensive content updates including the 2010 Guidelines for Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiac Care and CPR administration.

Basic Life Support: CPR and First Aid: Learn essential up-to-date first aid skills for illness and injury assessments and basic wound care including single-rescuer adult-only CPR, AED, airway and choking management.

Neurological Assessment: Learn the skills you need to establish a critical information baseline to assist first aid providers in making informed decisions about care in the field for both diving injuries and possible strokes. A course designed for divers and nondivers alike.
