Our instructors will provide you with more than just the information but will help to instill a confidence that you will be able to handle any emergency. Our classes include CPR of Infant & children and adults. You will learn what to do if someone is choking. Also included in every class is instruction in how to use an AED.
Our Automated External Defibrillator instruction is always taught along side an American Heart CPR course. AED‘s are a very effective tool but should never be used unless CPR is also administered.
