You can train at pretty much any age. Read through a first aid manual, which you can probably get from a library to help you out.

Sure you could 15 years old is a great age. I suggest you take CPR also if you are going to take first Aid. I have been a instructor with the American Red Cross for about 12 years. You never know when it might be needed. You could get them both in a combined class. I am glad you are thinking about it more people need to know how to help other people.

yes, you can.
1-day course with 3 Units of Competency from the new HLT Health Training Package recorded on your Statement of Attainment issued the same day:
* HLTAID001 Provide CPR
* HLTAID002 Provide basic emergency life support
* HLTAID003 Provide first aid

Of course you can. You can learn first aid at any age from 5 yrs old through to adulthood. Get in touch with St John's Ambulance at the following website for more info:

Sure you can. I had my first aid certificate when I was 15. Try checking with the local chapters of the red cross.

You're never too young to learn it! Go to your local YWCA or YMCA or community center to find out where to sign up for the class.

yes you can. take a course at your local Y or possibly a community college summer program, and you get certified in CPR which is GREAT to have!
