ISSA Unit 31 – Basic first aid

If you have not signed up for the ISSA certification yet, you can get it here for a great price. Sometimes they have an awesome deal where you get their Nutritionist certification for free or their elite trainer package (three certifications in one) for a ridiculously discounted price.

I recommend checking out the team over at Trainer Academy. They produce the best ISSA study materials, will reduce your study time by 50% and even provided an exam pass guarantee.
