First Aid is a very useful secondary skill skill for any class to have, but almost a necessity for non-healing classes.

First Aid allows characters to create bandages out of various types of cloth as well as anti-venom to cure poisons.
To make bandages, First Aid requires cloth. Cloth can be found on most humanoid mobs. Anti-venom requires venom sacs that are typically dropped by spiders and scorpions.
First Aid is a secondary skill, which means there is no reason to specifically avoid it, though it uses the same materials as Tailoring, which may make it more difficult to level for tailors. However, at the earlier levels in certain starting areas, the cloth drops are plentiful, making this less of an issue there. (Tirisfal Glades, the Undead starting zone, is an example of one of the best zones for cloth. For the Alliance, somewhere like Elwynn Forest is best.)
Sometimes people playing classes that can self-heal such as priests, paladins, druids and shaman mistakenly believe that they won't get much use out of First Aid. While it's certainly not as important for them as it would be for a rogue, it's still a very useful skill to have. It will help to speed leveling as you can save your mana for your damage spells, and it's quicker than eating, allowing you to quest and grind faster. Also, it can be very helpful in instances when your healer is overtaxed or othewise unable to heal you.
There is no specialization for First Aid.
Like all of the other secondary skills, the trainer will only allow you to reach a skill level of 150. To extend your skill cap past that range you will need to purchase books or perform quests. Below is a listing of how to level your First Aid skills:
~ Skill level 1-50 (Apprentice): Learned from trainer. All that is required is a character level of 5.
~ Skill level 51-150 (Journeyman): Learned from trainer. You can train for this skill cap at skill level 50 and a character level of 10.
~ Skill level 151-225 (Expert): Requires the purchase of Expert First Aid - Under Wraps, which requires a skill of 125 to use. It may be worth it to also pick up the other books that the vendor is selling so that you don't have to come back. Also, because people often level their First Aid faster than their characters, these can sell well on the Auction House for a 50-100% mark-up. Check your Auction House before you set off, though, as this sort of thing tends to vary by server.
~ Skill Level 226-300 (Master): To be capped to 300, you will need to perform a quest. You cannot get the quest until you're skill level 225 and character level 40. Please see the note in Other First Aid information below about the quest giver and further training.
~ Skill level 301-375 - Requires the purchase of Master First Aid - Doctor in the House. The vendors that sell this also sell books to teach you how to make Netherweave and Heavy Netherweave Bandages.
Note that you will want to remember where your questgiver was for the Triage Quest. He will be the one to teach you new bandages in the future. He won't have a quest marker on him, but talk to him anyway.
