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 EMS Safety Services. ALL courses are NEVADA REGISTRY APPROVED. Public class certifications for Basic CPR and First Aid are EMS Safety unless otherwise stated. NOTE: If you are needing to take the CPR/AED portion of the class only, you may leave before we start the First Aid portion of the class. The CPR portion of the class will start at 10:00 am and finish by 12:00 pm
