A little bit of training and practice is required but to take a pulse you can use one or two fingers on the wrist or on the neck to feel the heart beat. Generally you take a pulse for 15 seconds and multiply the number by 4 to determine the number of heart bets someone has in 1 minute.
When reporting pulse during first aid you may also want to indicate if the pule was strong/weak, or erratic.

Abnormalities in the atrial pulse can indicate underlying heart conditions.
