Many first aid courses cover bleeding control in a few PowerPoint slides, for a total of 10 to 15 minutes. At WIS, we wanted to challenge this norm by prioritizing the number one cause of preventable death by injury. That's why we dedicated an entire course to it, with 2-3 hours of training exclusively covering Stop The Bleed® principles.    Class Location and Info Our classroom is located at Redline Athletics, 22600-F Lambert St. , Suite 1205 Lake Forest, CA 92630
