You need to be able to do DRAB, recovery position, examination for wounds, basic treatments to stop blood loss, and resuscitation. If you know that you’ll be able to help anyone in a situation where you can send for an ambulance. The basic three day Red Cross course teaches all of that plus lots of other stuff about poisoning, eye injuries, heat stroke, how to do slings, bandages, move injured patients, and even how to treat a perforated chest wound.

The best way to advance beyond that is practical experience and advanced courses.
