First Aid Essentials
Like Duolingo, but for First Aid Essentials. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
For the part of you with thirty open tabs that never became anything.
54 levels across 4 sections, about 108 minutes end to end, roughly 22 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Getting Started with First Aid; Cuts, Scrapes, and Bleeding; Bones, Burns, and Bites; and Life-Saving Actions. It starts from scratch.
