CPR, AED, and First Aid Training

(without certification)

$40

A person practicing chest compressions on a CPR training manikin equipped with personal CPR instruction, demonstrating proper life-saving techniques during a CPR and AED training session.

Course content is the same for both class options, with the EXCEPTION OF CERTIFICATION CARD. Please read the course details of the class titled: CPR, AED, and First Aid (with certification)
This class is designed for adults and teens who want to learn CPR and AED use for personal knowledge rather than professional certification. It’s ideal for those whose careers DO NOT require certification but who still want to be prepared in case of an emergency. While you won’t receive a certification card from this class, you’ll learn the same skills as those receiving their certification. Since you will not be receiving a certification, you will NOT need to stay for the last portion of the class and will NOT need to pass the HANDS-ON SKILLS DEMONSTRATION CHECK OFF/TEST.
During the class, you’ll practice CPR on adult and infant manikins and get hands-on experience using an AED.
This class is perfect for teens, graduating seniors (as required by the state of Arizona), clubs, church groups, expectant parents, or caregivers looking after disabled family members, and anyone else who wants to feel more prepared in an emergency.
