TRAINING TO SAVE LIVES
Save One More Life is dedicated to training people to save lives, both physically and spiritually. We believe that everyone has the potential to be a lifesaver, and we offer donation-based classes to help individuals obtain the trauma aid skills they need. Join us in our mission to save lives.
Class Descriptions
We offer a variety of donation-based, high-intensity training that focuses on a hands-on application of bleeding control concepts. Each class offers distinct skills and can be done in many different settings. We travel across the United States to make the training as accessible as possible to anyone interested. Child care is not provided and children are not allowed to observe the classes. Teens are allowed to take the classes with a parent or guardian.
