CPR and First Aid (Non Healthcare Provider)

Our basic CPR and First Aid course covers Adult, Child and Infant CPR along with use of the AED. The First Aid portion of this course discusses how to recognize emergencies and the importance of scene safety. Students learn how to manage illness type emergencies (Heart Attack, Stroke, Diabetic Emergencies, etc.) and injuries in the first few minutes until professional help arrives.

We offer courses through the American Heart Association, The American Red Cross and HSI. ALL courses are NEVADA REGISTRY APPROVED.  Public class certifications for Basic CPR and First Aid are HSI unless otherwise stated. Certifications are sent within 14 business days. NOTE:  If you are needing to take the CPR/AED portion of the class only, please purchase the ticket marked “CPR/AED Only” if you see the option available.  If you don’t see the separate option, make sure to let your instructor know you are just doing the CPR portion of the class.  The CPR portion of the class will start at 5:30 pm and finish by 7:30 pm
