About this Event
This course is the full classroom option for the AHA Heartsaver – CPR and AED program. The Heartsaver Total course is designed for individuals with little to no medical training who require an OSHA-compliant certification or who simply want to be prepared to respond confidently in emergencies. Participants receive instructor-led CPR and AED instruction, followed by guided hands-on practice to build skills needed in workplace, community, and home settings.
The course concludes with an on-site skills evaluation, which students must successfully complete in order to be awarded their AHA Heartsaver Course Completion eCard, valid for two years.
