The purpose of the courses in the First Aid/CPR/AED program is to help participants recognize and respond appropriately to cardiac, breathing, and first aid emergencies; to know how to care for a suddenly injured or ill person until more advanced medical personnel arrive and take over.

The First Aid/CPR/AED program is available in two delivery formats: classroom (instructor-led) and blended learning, featuring online simulation learning followed by an in-person skills session.

The program offers the flexibility of selecting First Aid, CPR, and AED courses for adults, children, and infants, depending upon your training needs. With a variety of course options and delivery formats, courses in the First Aid/CPR/AED training program range from 3 hours to 6 hours in duration. English and Spanish versions of the program are available.

The First Aid/CPR/AED training program may include supplemental, add-on training modules for more advanced training and certification in key topics, including OSHA-mandated Bloodborne Pathogens Training, Anaphylaxis, and Epinephrine Auto-Injector, Asthma Inhaler Training, and Administering Emergency Oxygen.
