Old Harbour sits on the plains of St Catherine, a busy market town where the heat hangs heavy and the main road carries a steady stream of traffic heading to the south coast. The pace is fast, and accidents and sudden medical emergencies are a real risk on the thoroughfare and in the bustling town centre. That is why we bring our first aid and CPR training straight to the community groups and schools here, making sure the people who live and work in Old Harbour are ready to act when it matters most.
Booking a training session with us in Old Harbour is straightforward. You call or send a message through the website, tell us what your group needs, and we arrange a date that suits you. We bring all the manikins, AED trainers and bandages with us, so all your group needs to provide is a room with enough space for everyone to practice on the floor. We will walk you through what the session covers before we start, and we keep the class focused on the skills you will actually use.
Jamaica Rescue Academy works across Portmore and the greater Kingston area, so a crew is never far from Old Harbour. Call (347)-769-4847 or request a free estimate and we’ll come out and take a look.
Cuts, burns, fractures and choking are common in a busy market town. We teach the practical steps to handle these injuries until professional help arrives, using everyday materials where possible.
With the main road running through Old Harbour, cardiac emergencies happen. We train people to recognise a cardiac arrest, perform high-quality chest compressions, and use an automated external defibrillator confidently.
Teachers and school staff in Old Harbour often ask for training that covers the specific accidents children have. We focus on what to do for a child who is unresponsive, choking, or has a head injury.
Community organisations in Old Harbour want their members to be the first line of help. We teach a practical, calm approach to emergencies, so neighbours can support each other before the ambulance arrives.
We deliver first aid and CPR training for small businesses and shops in Old Harbour. We focus on the emergencies most likely in a workplace setting, from cuts and burns to sudden collapse, and we tailor the practice to the space you have.
We run hands-on workshops for school staff, covering CPR, choking relief, and how to manage bleeding. We bring our training manikins and AED simulators, and we work through scenarios that teachers face in the classroom and on the playground.
We hold courses for youth groups, church congregations and neighbourhood watches. The training covers the basics of first aid and CPR, with a strong emphasis on building the confidence to step in and help a stranger in an emergency.
Training happens in the community centres and church halls around the main square and market area. Sessions are often held in the evenings or on weekends when the streets are quieter and more people are free to attend.
The fishing community along the coast has its own rhythm and risks. We deliver training to groups here who want to be ready for emergencies that happen on the water or along the shoreline, where help can be slower to arrive.
The housing schemes and settlements on the edges of Old Harbour are where many of our school and church group bookings come from. We travel to these areas with all the equipment, so distance is no barrier to getting trained.
What is allowed in one part of Old Harbour is not always allowed in the next, and the rules change. We check what applies to your address before the work is booked rather than assuming.
Not every job needs one. When yours does, we tell you at the quote stage, what it is for, who applies for it, and how long it usually adds, instead of discovering it halfway through.
