AED

Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, at any time. With Red Cross AED and CPR training, you can learn when – and how – to use an automated external defibrillator (AED). Our CPR/AED courses are developed and taught by experts – and deliver simple-to-use techniques and information that can help you save a life. Although this course can be offered as a stand-alone course, it is currently taught as part of the Adult and Pediatric CPR/AEA and Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED courses. For groups who wish to take AED only, please contact us.
