Sports Emergency First Aid Online Training

In fast-paced sports environments, emergencies can happen anytime — a fall, a collision, a sudden collapse. The Sports Emergency First Aid course is a comprehensive, globally relevant program designed to empower you with the essential first-response skills needed to manage and stabilize sports-related injuries and medical conditions quickly and effectively.

This course combines life-saving first aid techniques with sports-specific injury care and emphasizes inclusive practices for individuals with learning disabilities, ensuring you can deliver appropriate care to every athlete, regardless of cognitive ability or communication challenges.

Whether you're a coach, sports official, physical education teacher, personal trainer, referee, parent, or a sports therapist, you’ll gain the confidence to assess, prioritize, and respond to a range of common, serious, and environmental sports injuries — from concussions to fractures, from heatstroke to cardiac arrest.

The course covers vital topics like DR ABC emergency assessment, CPR and AED use in sports, concussion protocols, bleeding control, spinal injury management, anaphylaxis response, and more, using real-life sports scenarios and easy-to-understand guidance for working with those who may have learning disabilities or communication difficulties.

You’ll also learn how to remain calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and prioritize safety while waiting for emergency services to arrive — because in sports, your first response can save a life.
