First Aid & CPR with AED

First Aid
Basic First Aid covers general principles of first aid, injury emergencies, medical emergencies, and environmental (optional) emergencies. OSHA approved and easy to learn with no complicated terminology. Students who complete this 3-4 hour course will receive a completion card that is valid for two years.

Environmental Emergencies

Covers such things as poisoning, chemical spills, animal bites, insect stings, heatstroke, frostbite, and hypothermia.

CPR
(adult, child, infant)

Adult, Child, and Infant CPR using the latest science from the American Heart Association. Students learn and perform CPR with a barrier device (pocket mask). Optional training includes use of an AED (automated external defibrillator). This basic CPR class is OSHA approved and does not require any previous medical training or knowledge. Completion card is valid for two years.

AED

An Automated External Defibrillator is a machine with a computer inside. It can

  • recognize cardiac arrest that requires a shock
  • tell the rescuer when a shock is needed
  • give a shock if needed

    • AED's are accurate and easy to use. After very little training, most people can operate an AED. Giving CPR right away and using an AED within a few minutes will increase the chances of saving the life of someone with sudden cardiac arrest. After completing this training, the student will be able to operate any AED.
