Heartsaver® AED Course

Course Description
The Heartsaver AED Course is a classroom course that teaches basic CPR and AED skills such as, giving CPR to an infant, child, or an adult, using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), using a mask or barrier device, and relief of foreign-body airway obstruction to all lay rescuers, particularly those who are expected to respond to emergencies in the workplace. Although the course may be used to teach CPR and AED to all lay rescuers, it is also designed for lay rescuers who are required to obtain a course completion card documenting completion of a CPR and AED course.   

Course offers the opportunity to learn basic CPR and AED skills with feedback from an instructor. Uses the research-proven Practice-While-Watching method to provide students with the most hands-on CPR practice time possible during the length of the program.
