CPR and First Aid Classes

All CPR classes are taught under current American Heart Association guidelines:

The class is divided into two nights, the first of which covers 1st Aid. The second night covers adult, child, and infant CPR & choking, and the use of an AED (automated external defibulator). Once certified, the card is good for two years.
