1We are interested in increasing first-aid skills,so that we will really be able to help if a loved one or a stranger is injured or suddenly becomes seriously ill.There are many ways we can improve knowledge in this subject.

2Those people uninterested in getting any type of certification could begin by studying free online resources that explain the basic details of first aid.Such resources are found through online sites like Mayo Clinic,and there are many videos on the Internet that can demonstrate first-aid procedures.

3To get more training,we could enroll in classes.These may be taught by organizations like the Red Cross,and private companies may offer instruction too.Some classes are online,which means they can be taken at any time,and they can include testing for some types of certification.It should be noted that online first-aid classes do not cover CPR training.This training must be performed at an onsite class.

4More extensive（廣泛的）classes exist to improve first-aid skills.If we plan to work at fire departments,or if we want to volunteer to help emergency responding organizations,we may need to study for a longer period.We might need to take classes aimed at really improving first-aid skills that include 40 hours or more of instruction and practice time.Those with this additional knowledge are prepared to do things like helping deliver babies and moving injured people.Volunteers with organizations like the Red Cross that are visible after man-made or natural disasters are typically people who have this advanced first-aid training.

5For those without the time to take classes,it's still recommended that we should at least do some online reading to improve first-aid skills.A whole family could take this up and help each other with quizzes and conversation.It can also be useful to keep a first-aid card on hand,which can serve as a reminder of what to do for different types of injuries.Though learning and practice is preferred,some knowledge is certainly better than zero understanding of first aid.
