Introduction
CPR and first aid training are essential skills that everyone should learn. At Pulse CPR and First Aid School, we aim to provide you with all the information you need to make the right choice. In this guide, we answer common questions about our training programs.
What Courses Do We Offer?
We offer several American Heart Association-certified courses:
- Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers: This course is for medical professionals. It covers advanced CPR, AED use, and team-based resuscitation.
- Heartsaver® CPR AED: This course is for non-medical people. It teaches basic CPR, AED use, and how to help someone who is choking.
- Heartsaver® First Aid: This course prepares you to respond to common first aid emergencies, like cuts, broken bones, and allergic reactions.
Who Should Take a CPR or First Aid Course?
CPR and first aid training are useful for everyone. Whether you’re a healthcare worker, teacher, parent, or just someone who wants to be prepared, these skills can help save lives. Many jobs now require CPR certification.
How Long Is CPR Certification Valid?
CPR certifications are valid for two years. After that, you’ll need to take a refresher course to stay up-to-date and keep your skills sharp.
What’s the Difference Between BLS and Heartsaver® Courses?
The BLS course is more advanced and is meant for healthcare providers and emergency workers. It covers more topics, like working in a team during resuscitation. The Heartsaver® courses are for the general public and focus on basic CPR, AED use, and first aid.
How Should I Prepare for a CPR or First Aid Class?
Preparing for a CPR or first aid class is simple:
- Review Pre-Course Materials: Some courses have online modules or reading materials to go over before class.
- Wear Comfortable Clothes: You’ll be practicing hands-on skills, so wear clothes that allow you to move easily.
- Arrive Early: This gives you time to settle in and complete any paperwork before class begins.
What Will Happen During the Course?
Our courses are hands-on and interactive. You’ll practice CPR on manikins, learn how to use an AED, and work through different first aid scenarios. Our instructors, certified by the American Heart Association, bring real-world experience to the classroom.
