American Heart Association® (AHA) Heartsaver® CPR AED & First Aid Training with optional Bloodborne Pathogen course.
This comprehensive Heartsaver certification course covers all the life-saving material offered in individual sessions of the CPR/AED training and first aid training. In this video-based, instructor-guided training course, your team will learn:
Adult CPR AED use Basic first aid Bloodborne pathogen procedures (if this module is included)
CPR/AED Training
Instructors lead this hands-on course using the American Heart Association’s research-proven Practice-While-Watching (PWW) technique. The instructor will observe the students as they practice administering CPR, using an AED, and providing first aid. Instructors provide guidance during the class and give in-the-moment feedback on students’ application of skills.
CPR is practiced on a training manikin. Either a trainer AED unit or an AED equipped with training pads will be used to demonstrate how to prep the patient for electrode pad application and how to deliver a life-saving shock to someone experiencing SCA. Students will have the opportunity to practice applying electrode pads, interacting with the AED, and following the AED’s instructions.
First Aid Training
The first aid component of the training teaches skills that will allow students to respond to and manage emergencies for the first few critical moments until emergency medical services (EMS) arrives.
Students learn key skills, including how to treat:
Bleeding Sprains Broken bones Shock Other common first aid emergencies, like allergic reactions
Some of the other topics covered include bandaging technique, glove removal, and epinephrine auto-injectors. Hands-on instruction is given where applicable so students get feedback on their skills.
Classes are seven to eight hours, depending on the number of students who participate.
Choose one or two training sessions for up to 10 people in each class. Class size is limited so instructors are able to provide individual coaching. This way, each student leaves feeling confident he or she has received comprehensive instruction and is ready to use an AED, administer CPR, or provide first aid if the need arises.
Optional Heartsaver Bloodborne Pathogen Training
The optional Heartsaver Bloodborne Pathogens is a video-based, instructor-led classroom course for anyone who has a reasonable chance of being exposed to or coming into contact with bloodborne pathogens. Students will learn:
How to protect themselves from exposure to bloodborne pathogens How to clean themselves and the contaminated area The proper procedure to report exposure to bloodborne pathogens in the workplace
This class meets Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements for bloodborne pathogens training when paired with site-specific instruction.
When BBP certification is included, training sessions are 7.5 to 8.5 hours long.
