PROMO Code: LEARNCPR
Every year, over 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of hospitals in the United States, and only 10% of people survive without immediate CPR. The difference between life and death often comes down to whether someone nearby knows what to do in those critical first minutes. This comprehensive CPR and first aid course gives you the knowledge and confidence to be that person who can save a life.
This course covers everything you need to know about performing CPR on adults, children, and infants, using an automated external defibrillator (AED), responding to choking emergencies, controlling bleeding, and handling special situations like respiratory arrest and cardiac emergencies. You'll learn proper compression techniques, rescue breathing, the critical differences between age groups, and when to call for help versus starting CPR immediately.
Through clear, step-by-step instruction, you'll discover how to assess scene safety, recognize the signs of cardiac arrest, deliver high-quality chest compressions at the correct depth and rate, perform rescue breathing effectively, and operate an AED with confidence. You'll also master the Heimlich maneuver for adults and children, along with specialized techniques for choking infants.
This course goes beyond basic techniques by teaching you how to handle real-world scenarios including drowning victims, opioid overdoses, pregnant individuals, and other special circumstances that require adapted approaches. You'll understand the legal protections under Good Samaritan laws and learn strategies for managing the emotional stress of emergency situations.
Whether you're a parent, teacher, caregiver, coach, babysitter, office worker, or simply someone who wants to be prepared for emergencies, this course provides practical instruction that follows current emergency response guidelines. By the end of this training, you'll have the knowledge to act decisively when seconds matter most.
Don't wait for an emergency to wish you knew what to do. Enroll now and gain the life-saving skills that could make you someone's hero.

I was in the medical field for years, and had to know First Aid and CPR like the back of my hand. Took MANY 8+ hour-long classes over the years while still working in the field. Now that I am no longer working in that field, I still find that refreshing my skills every couple of years is beneficial. This class refreshed those skills and knowledge-base perfectly, without my having to spend 100+ hours, not having to attend brick-and-mortar classes for several hours and dozens of dollars.
