A certified first responder is a person who has completed a course and received certification in providing pre-hospital care for medical emergencies. They have more skill than someone who is trained in basic first aid but they are not a substitute for advanced medical care rendered by emergency medical technicians, emergency physicians, nurses, or paramedics. The term "certified first responder" is not to be confused with "first responder", which is a generic term referring to the first medically trained responder to arrive on scene (police, fire, EMS).
And I just finished my first responder and i wish i would have just skipped it and went into EMT, like im taking now. I wouldnt say it was a waste of time i learned alot. i just get to do it all over again.
