AED Certification Classes
Whether you’ve just purchased an AED or you already have AEDs in place, an AED is just one important part of preparing yourself for a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) event. While AEDs are designed to coach a user with little or no training, completing a CPR or AED certification can make the difference between life and death because performing CPR will keep the heart in a shockable rhythm until the AED arrives on scene. AED.us only recommends approved American Red Cross, American Heart Association, Health and Safety Institute or other nationally approved trainers to our visitors and customers. AED.us staff and/or our training center will coordinate with you to schedule customized CPR/AED classes.
Ensuring you and your peers are trained and competent in CPR and AED use will maximize response time, quality of care and lead to higher survival rates from Sudden Cardiac Arrest events (SCA). There’s never been a better time to learn CPR and First Aid than now! Become a certified Basic Life Support (BLS) volunteer responder, or renew your 2-year certification. AED.us offers on-site, nation-wide training classes, taught by experienced, nationally accredited American Heart Association instructors.
Each course will provide you with the knowledge and skills to act when you need to be the first responder in an emergency. Learn how to perform CPR, how to use an AED, and become more comfortable with the steps of the chain of survival before paramedics arrive on the scene.
