i did both my O2 and PRM courses with the region and our instructors day job was a paramedic. We did cover basic first aid, the difference between arterial and veinal bleeding, concussion, shock, heart attack etc etc. Maybe this was a benefit of our instructor and additional to the sylabus but I aint knocking it.

It also covered things like channel 16, calling pan pan and calling mayday which are very useful skills.
