American Heart Association® Training

When the heart stops, seconds count. CPR must be started immediately. Otherwise, the victim has little chance of survival.

Why the American Heart Association?

The American Heart Association® is the leader in cardiac care and research. Professionals such as ambulance services and hospitals use their protocols.

Safety Training & Consulting utilizes the latest training materials and the most up-to-date information provided by the AHA. Students are provided with manuals, complete with CDs, which they keep. This allows them to review, practice and keep their skills strong.
