AHA CPR & AED Safety Training Program

Course Description

The First Aid with CPR and AED Course teaches rescuers how to effectively recognize and treat emergencies during the critical first minutes until emergency medical services personnel arrive. Our Red Cross instructor comes to your facility and trains employees at a time that works best for you—during the day, at night, or even on weekends. Training options include both half-day and full-day first aid courses.
