Basic Civilian Responder is an 8-hour course developed by Frontline Response to teach the basics of keeping someone alive after a traumatic injury for the 10-20 minutes we typically wait until the ambulance arrives. Because trauma is the most common cause of death for Americans under the age of 45, this class teaches the basic skills to combat that statistic. Specifically, uncontrolled bleeding is the leading cause of preventable death after a traumatic injury. Due to this fact, this course includes the American College of Surgeons’ Stop the Bleed certification.
If you want to learn the basic skills to save a life, this is the class for you and your friends and family.

- SMARCH
- Scene safety/security
