CPR Certification

The basic life support course (BLS) trains participants to promptly recognize several life-threatening emergencies, give  chest compression, and deliver appropriate ventilation. This course will empower you to expertly respond to life-threatening emergencies. Learning CPR will prepare you to provide aid when another person's life depends on it. In the instructor-led course, students participate in simulated clinical scenarios and learning situations. Students work with an American Heart Association BLS Instructor to complete BLS skills practice and skills testing. Students will also be required to complete a written examination. CPR card will be issued upon successful completion of the program.
