CPR/AED Training Programs

Traditional certificate-based CPR courses designed for citizen rescuers often entail a several-hour time commitment and cost approximately $50. They are useful for individuals who wish to receive additional training or whose jobs require certification. Here are a few useful links:

If you are looking to develop a community CPR/AED Training Program, training enough people to ensure you will have an impact requires a concerted, coordinated effort. However, with the introduction of short skills training, such as compression-only CPR in 10 minutes or less, the task may not be as daunting as it appears.
