CPR+AED (Asynchronous e-learning)

What's In It For Me

CPR+AED Course aims to empower individuals to step forward and perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and use the Automated External Defibrillator (AED) when called upon. Many studies have shown that performing CPR and use of the AED can improve the chance of survival of the casualty. In fact, for every minute of delayed treatment, the chance of survival drops by 7-10%.

This course covers only CPR+AED. If you require First Aid Certification with CPR+AED, you may be looking for the Standard First Aid course instead.
