Emergency First Aid & Basic Life Support / CPR Training
The Palau Red Cross Society (PRCS) offers a 12-hour Emergency First Aid and Basic Life Support/CPR course designed to teach essential life-saving skills for adults, children, and infants .
These courses are open to the general public and are especially ideal for individuals without a medical background. Participants learn how to respond effectively in emergency situations, whether at home, in the workplace, or during community activities.
Training is conducted by experienced instructors who provide hands-on learning through discussions, demonstrations, and real-life practice scenarios.
As more members of our community become trained, Palau becomes better prepared to respond to emergencies and protect those in need. The nominal training fees collected help sustain the many humanitarian services of the Palau Red Cross Society.

Guiding Principles of First Aid
The course is built around four core principles that define every first aider’s role:
Preserve and save lives
Prevent further harm or complications
Seek immediate medical help
Provide reassurance to the injured or ill
These principles guide every step of the decision-making process in emergencies.
Course Structure & Syllabus
The training combines classroom learning with active, hands-on sessions that prepare participants for real-life emergency response situations.
You’ll start with an introduction to the definition and objectives of First Aid and Basic Life Support, gaining an understanding of the role and responsibilities of a first aider and how to recognize risks and hazards during an emergency.
From there, the course covers a range of emergency topics that often occur—or could potentially occur—in Palau, including:
Emergency Action Principles – how to assess a scene, prioritize safety, and take the right steps in the first few critical moments.
Common and medical emergencies – such as bleeding, burns, fractures, heart attacks, and strokes.
Environmental emergencies – including heat-related illnesses, bites or stings, and water-related incidents.
Cardiac and respiratory emergencies – for adults, children, and infants.
Safe lifting and moving techniques – to prevent further injury to both rescuer and victim.
Each module emphasizes practical learning through guided discussions and scenario-based exercises, ensuring participants gain the confidence to respond effectively to emergencies in Palau’s unique environment.
Assessment
To ensure full understanding and readiness, participants are continuously assessed throughout the course. Evaluation includes:
Participation in group discussions and practice sessions
Verbal questioning to confirm comprehension
Observation of practical techniques
