CPR Training Center

The Heartsaver AED course is designed to teach CPR, use of an external defibrillator (AED), and relief of foreign-body airway obstruction (FBAO) to all layrescuers, particularly those who are expected to respond to emergencies in the work place. It presents information about the AHA adult chain of survival and signs of heart attack, cardiac arrest, stroke and choking adults. The course can also present information about the AHA pediatric infant and child chain of survival and signs of choking in infants and children. Although the course may be used to teach CPR/AED to all lay rescuers, it is specifically designed for lay rescuers who are required to obtain a course completion card - a credential - documenting completion of a CPR AED course.

This course will educate the rescuer on three core modules with an optional fourth.

  • General Principles
  • Medical Emergencies
  • Injury Emergencies
  • Environmental Emergencies ( Optional )

The modules teach the public how to manage illness and injuries in the critical first few minutes before professional help arrives

The healthcare provider course is designed to teach the skills of CPR for victims of all ages (including ventilation with a barrier device, bag mask device and oxygen), use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) and relief of foreign-body airway obstruction (FBAO). It is intended for participants who provide health care to patients in a wide variety of settings, including in-hospital and out-of -hospital settings
