About This Course
The Heartsaver CPR & AED course teaches the skills to respond to a sudden cardiac arrest or choking emergency in the first few minutes, before emergency medical services arrive. It is an American Heart Association course, and it covers the care of adults, children and infants.
Whether you work in an office, a restaurant, a school or a gym, or you are a parent at home, Heartsaver is built for people who are not healthcare professionals. If your employer requires a specific certification, check with your company's compliance contact before you enroll.
