Adult and Pediatric CPR/AED Class

The American Red Cross Adult and Pediatric CPR/AED course provides participants with the knowledge and skills they need to recognize and respond appropriately to cardiac, breathing and first aid emergencies for victims of all ages. The course teaches participants the knowledge and skills needed to give immediate care to an injured or ill person and to decide whether advanced medical care is needed.

The course is designed for a wide variety of participants. The intended audience for the courses in this program includes lay responders in the workplace and community. The participants may be taking this training outside the traditional academic environment of a high school, college or university. It is the entry level CPR course required for most non-healthcare jobs such as day care providers, office workers, construction workers and the general public. Students who successfully complete this course will receive a certificate for Adult and Pediatric CPR/AED valid for two years.
