The CPR AED Course trains participants to give cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use an automated external defibrillator (AED) in a safe, timely, and effective manner.
In the Instructor-led course, students will focus on the recognition of cardiac arrest, getting emergency care on the way quickly, and helping the person until more advanced care arrives to take over. Students work with an AHA HS Instructor to complete CPR AED skills practice and skills testing. In some cases, students may also have to take a written exam.
