Training in first aid reflects the proactive learning and community involvement values of today. Learning first aid helps people to be ready for emergencies, therefore possibly saving lives and lessening the degree of injuries. This information is quite helpful in public areas, businesses, and classrooms, among other environments. Furthermore, first aid instruction builds confidence and readiness, which helps people to respond forcefully in life-threatening events.

Including first aid instruction in one's educational path is a perfect example of learning in public—where the obtained knowledge not only helps the individual but also greatly influences the larger society.
