* THIS IS A HYBRID COURSE!  1.5 or 4.5 HOURS ONLINE @ HOME AND 2.5 HOURS IN-PERSON!

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).

This course is designed by the Health Safety Institute, a worldwide leader in CPR, AED and First Aid emergency care training programs. 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.

If you have not received your learning link by 1 week prior to class, please contact instructor (Tanya 847-989-7056). CPR and AED only will take approximately 1.5  hour.  CPR, AED, and optional First Aid will take up to 4.5 hours. The instructor will send you an email with the class options. A learning link can not be assigned until you choose your option.
