Description
What Stop the Bleed training teaches
Severe bleeding can kill in minutes, before an ambulance arrives. This one-hour course teaches the three actions promoted by the national Stop the Bleed campaign: apply direct pressure, pack the wound, and apply a tourniquet. The CPR1 pages also list the use of chest seals. Participants practise on real tourniquets and wound packing supplies during the class, so the skills are physical, not theoretical.
Who should take a Stop the Bleed course
The listing recommends it for teachers and school administrators, security staff, workplace safety teams, coaches and community organisations. It is described as especially relevant for K-12 schools. The class works for people with no medical background. Groups are booked in sizes of up to 10, 12, 15, 20 or 25.
Standalone or add-on
Stop the Bleed can be booked on its own or added to a CPR/AED & First Aid or Fire Extinguisher session on the same day. The CPR1 pages describe it mainly as an add-on. The ABR FAQ says many organisations pair it with CPR training to build a complete emergency programme, and that combined pricing is available on request.
Stop the Bleed certification
Here the pages disagree, so read carefully. The ABR FAQ says participants receive a completion certificate and that CPR1 instructors are trained under the American College of Surgeons Stop the Bleed programme. The CPR1 pages say the class is awareness level and does not result in certification. Ask CPR1 what document, if any, your group will receive before you book.
Who teaches it
CPR1 instructors have fire, EMS and healthcare backgrounds. The listing notes that CPR1’s founder, Anastasios “Tasso” Giannikas, specialises in workplace safety and Stop the Bleed programmes.
