This program focuses on practical skills and knowledge that will help you to respond confidently and effectively in a cardiac arrest emergency. Our program is geared to students with little or no medical training – making it ideal for you if your job requires you to learn life-saving techniques for the workplace or if you’re simply interested in developing these critical skills.

After you successfully complete the course, you’ll receive a course completion card in CPR and AED use, which is most suitable for employment, regulatory and other requirements, and which will now be valid for two years.
