ECT-HK community training courses are designed for members of the community who require first aid knowledge for the workplace, for the family, or for leisure pursuits. Others simply want to know what to do in the case of unexpected illness or injury.

Whatever your reasons for learning first aid, ECT-HK can tailor a course to meet your needs. First aid courses are delivered in a clear, straight forward manner, with emphasis on real life scenarios and practical application of knowledge.

National Safety Council (NSC) emergency care programs provide flexible yet straightforward training and hands on skills that instill confidence.

Student materials include current, evidence based guidelines. Student manuals have clear graphics, flow charts with step-by-step procedures, and built-in reminders for quick recall.

Courses are held at our training center in Central, Hong Kong. Group learning is interactive and fun. Students can ask the instructor relevant questions, and receive "hands-on" help where needed.

All courses can be delivered in Cantonese or English.
