CPR/AED + First Aid Training

What your team will learn

Heartsaver CPR/AED provides your employees with the knowledge and skills needed to recognize and initiate basic care for breathing and cardiac emergencies until advanced medical professionals arrive. All attendees will receive American Heart Association certification. First Aid training prepares your employees to respond to many common illnesses and helps prevent minor injuries from turning in to life-threatening situations.

Why we are your best choice for medical training

Many people are intimidated by CPR and AED use. Our commonsense hands-on approach will take the fear out of this life-saving process. While CPR/AED and First Aid are our most frequently scheduled classes, we are also able to provide many other medical courses as needed in the workplace. Some examples include BLS Healthcare Provider, Emergency Medical Responder, and Emergency Medical Technician.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What will be covered during training?

Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death among adults in the United States. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) dramatically increases the victims’ chance of survival. Your employees will leave this class with the skills to confidently administer life-saving measures during these emergencies. First Aid classes can be customized to cover topics such as controlling bleeding, diabetes, seizures, breaks and sprains, burns, asthma attacks, allergic reactions, frostbite, etc. We can also customize training to portray a ‘real life’ emergency by use of actors and theatrical make-up, allowing the students to react to this scenario from start to finish.

How long is the medical training?

CPR/AED training is two-three hours in length; First Aid training is approximately one hour.

Why should you provide this training for your employees?

No one expects to encounter a medical emergency and few are skilled to offer the necessary treatment in the first few minutes until the fire department, police, or medical teams arrive. The life they save may be yours, a family member, a neighbor, or a stranger. Your employees will be prepared whether at work, at home, or anywhere in the community.

David D. – University of Minnesota

It was outstanding. Dan of First Response with his exemplary credentials gave us a first-rate session. His delivery was fact-filled and focused. There wasn’t a lost or wandering minute in the hour, and the show-and-tell and hands on riveted all of attention.”
