| About MidCoast First Aid |
| Midcoast First Aid was started in 2007 to provide basic first aid and CPR training in the Mid Coast Maine area. The primary focus was to fill a gap in basic ship board first aid. As regulations in training and requirements have changes Midcoast First Aid strives to keep up with the changes and provide everyone from the professional mariner to the weekend boater the most up to date and comprehensive training possible.
In 2009 the company received its first major USCG approval and has been growing rapidly over the past year. At this time the company has four USCG approvals and only hopes to grow in the coming months and years. Working with our training partners we hope to provide high quality maritime training for years to come. |
