During the month of February 2026 Army Cadets from 219 RCACC participated in a Standard First Aid Course. 219 has a Cadet who is training as the Cadet Correspondent. He submitted this article for the website. In the 219 Cadets lead Cadets and they produce their own stories. Well done to the Corps and their industrious Cadet Correspondent.
The first aid course was intended to equip us with the necessary skills to handle real-life situations. Throughout the course, I have not only gained the skills but also the confidence and sense of responsibility that I can apply when assisting people in medical emergencies. It is a good thing that I was able to take this course through the cadet program, as it is not always easy to gain access to this type of training.
During the course, we were taught how to administer CPR on infants, children, and adults. We were also taught how to use an AED and how to treat various types of wounds. These skills will definitely help me assist others in my community. Overall, this course has helped me develop lifesaving skills that will enable me to take charge in emergency situations.
