Why it's worth it
The online courses can be taken from home or work, with no need to travel. The first aid course teaches practical skills for responding at home, at work or on the street until emergency services arrive. Conversational English is a highly valued skill in the job market of a tourist destination like Cancun.
If you are experiencing violence
If you or someone you know is experiencing violence, call 911 in an emergency.
