2. Learn to save lives
If you wish to go the extra mile and receive training in first aid and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), there are organisations in the UAE that offer these courses, too. However, according to Luke Cunningham, co-founder and Managing Director at Blue Guard Middle East, before enrolling in a course, you should confirm if the training centre is approved.
“Parents and individuals who often spend time at the beach or by the pool, should get certified in CPR and first aid. Normal first aid and CPR courses take around six to seven hours to complete. Before you enrol on a first aid course, make sure the training centre is approved. All training centres in Dubai must be approved by the Dubai Corporation For Ambulance Services (DCAS),” Cunningham said.
