Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an essential skill in emergency medicine. While doctors and nurses receive both undergraduate and on-the-job training in CPR, many still prefer to enhance their skills through basic and advanced CPR courses from an American Heart Association (AHA) provider. All six of our training locations offer the same comprehensive CPR programs, with schedules varying by provider. Our American and Canadian CPR training courses are affordable, with consistent pricing across all locations.
For those seeking CPR certification, all of our courses are official certification programs. Enrollment is easy and can be done through the online form on our provider websites, by email, or by phone. We also encourage trainees to enroll in person when possible.
Recent statistics show that one in three children are obese. Obesity is measured using body mass index (BMI), which compares a person’s weight to their height. A normal BMI ranges from 18 to 24, while a BMI above 24 indicates overweight, and a BMI over 30 is classified as obese.
Obesity is a major risk factor for developing heart disease. Excess weight is typically linked to an unhealthy diet and lack of physical activity. When these factors combine, they can lead to fat accumulation in the blood vessels. This buildup, especially in vessels leading to the heart, can block blood flow, potentially leading to a heart attack.
Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart fails to circulate blood throughout the body. The heart may stop completely or beat irregularly (arrhythmia), and victims often exhibit agonal gasps or stop breathing entirely. To restore blood circulation, chest compressions are performed at a rate of at least 100 per minute, with a 30:2 compression-to-ventilation ratio per cycle.
In non-hospital settings, hands-only CPR (chest compressions without rescue breaths) can be effective if the rescuer is not comfortable providing breaths. If an automated external defibrillator (AED) is available, it can be used to treat arrhythmias. Comprehensive medical treatment, however, requires a structured medical environment, such as a hospital or ambulance.
As shown in the list, our basic courses are concise, typically lasting four hours in a single session. Advanced courses, such as ACLS and PALS, span two days. Re-certification is available for three of our courses.
