This blended learning style Basic CPR and AED class with optional First Aid is a must have basic skill everyone should learn. This class will not satisfy a BLS requirement. You will learn how to perform life-saving skills such as rescue breathing, CPR, and managing an obstructed airway for all ages. Also, learn how to use an AED (Automatic External Defibrillator).

Students will receive a certification valid for two years, upon successful completion of the course. Class materials include a digital reference book and digital certification card issued upon successful completion of the in-person skills class.
