Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

(CPR)

Our Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) program equips you with the essential life-saving skills and knowledge needed in emergency situations. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of CPR, including proper chest compressions and rescue breaths for adults, children, and infants. Whether you are a healthcare professional, a concerned citizen, or just someone who wants to be prepared for emergencies, our CPR course will empower you to act confidently in life-threatening situations.

HEARTSAVER/automatic external defibrillator:

(Heartsaver/AED)

This heartsaver/automatic external defibrillator (AED) course is designed to strengthen the chain of survival and provide training on one- and two-rescuer adult CPR and automatic external defibrillators (AEDs). Responders may include workplace first aid providers, security personnel, lifeguards, or professional firefighters. The program establishes guidelines and protocols for the use of AEDs in accordance with AHA 2020 guidelines for CPR and ECC.

BASIC LIFE SUPPORT FOR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS

(BLS)

This course, based on the AHA 2020 guidelines for CPR and ECC, is designed to teach healthcare professionals CPR and automated external defibrillator (AED) skills for adults, children, and infants. The course also teaches ventilation skills with a barrier device, bag-mask device, use of oxygen, and relief of foreign-body airway obstruction for choking victims. Participants learn these skills through lectures, videos, and practical skills scenarios.

ADVANCED CARDIOVASCULAR LIFE SUPPORT

(ACLS)

This course, based on the AHA 2020 guidelines for CPR and ECC, is designed to teach the participant advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) procedures.
