Community CPR & AED

This certification is a prerequisite for both Wilderness First Aid and Advanced Wilderness First Aid, and is often offered just prior to the wilderness course itself. This hands-on adult CPR skills training could help you save the life of a family member, a friend, or a stranger by preparing you to correctly and confidently respond to breathing and cardiac emergencies in adults. Proper use of an AED is also included.

Participants will learn to: 
   • Protect yourself against disease transmission by taking precautions when giving care.
   • Follow the emergency action steps: Check-Call-Care.
   • Call for and work with EMS.
   • Care for conscious and unconscious choking victims.
   • Perform CPR and manage breathing and cardiac emergencies in adults (12 & older).
   • Use an automated external defibrillator (AED) on a victim of sudden cardiac arrest.
   • Gain the confidence you need to act quickly and effectively in an emergency.
