American Heart Association CPR

---

Overview

About 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur every year. Without immediate help, 90% of those victims will not survive. You can help improve those odds. CPR can double or triple a person’s chance of survival if started within the first few minutes of cardiac arrest. According to 2014 data, nearly 45% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims survived when bystander CPR was administered.

This course is for anyone who is not a medical professional but wants to learn CPR, or whose employer requires CPR certification - especially educators, child care workers, industrial or construction workers, or anyone in the health and fitness industry.

This is a video-based, instructor-led, hands-on course format that ensures consistency, reinforces skills proficiency, and conforms to the 2015 American Heart Association Guidelines Update for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care.
