American Heart Association Heartsaver CPR/AED Classes
American Heart Association (AHA) Heartsaver CPR AED classes are designed to prepare people to provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) use in a safe, timely and effective manner. An AHA CPR card will be given after successful completion of the class. The card is valid for 2 years. *Note: This class does not cover First Aid and it is not a Healthcare Provider Class. If you need a CPR card for the hospital, or EMT, or something similar, this class will not be sufficient.
Cost: The class is free to all community members.
Class time: All classes will start promptly at 5:00pm. The duration of the class is approximately 3 to 3 ½ hours. We recommend arriving 15 minutes early to find parking and to locate the classroom.
