The Seizure First Aid Ready course educates the public on the Epilepsy Foundation’s basic procedures for responding to someone having a seizure.
This course aims to increase knowledge in applying seizure first aid and was designed for direct training of the public. Participants who successfully complete the course will receive a certificate of completion.
