Whether you are looking to sign-up for a course for yourself or a group of people, there are a few things to consider. Why are you looking to take a CPR course?

The following are the differences between our Basic Life Support (BLS) and Heartsaver courses.

This four-hour long course will train you on recognizing and responding to various life threatening emergencies. You will practice providing 1 and 2 rescuer CPR for adults, children and infants, as well as using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). You will also learn and practice how to relieve choking.
