Heartsaver CPR and First Aid


The Heartsaver CPR course sponsored by the American Heart Association covers adult CPR/AED and can include First Aid.  The certifications are good for 2 years.  With or without the First Aid, cost is $65 each for a minimum class size of 3; smaller classes can be arranged.  With the First Aid, class is 6-7 hours long; the class for just CPR/AED is 3 hours long and the card would only reflect CPR/AED.  You will be given a book one week before class along with registration.
My class days are flexible so if a group needs another day or
wants me to come to their site, I will do so as long as they provide a TV and DVD player with remote. 


Please let me know if you are interested. 
I will need registration ($65) by 1 March.  You will get your book for review at least 1 week prior to class.  Class will take approximately 6-7 hours.  Location will be Eagle River, more specifics to follow.  Cards are good for 2 years (American Heart).
 
I am also taking names for those needing the Healthcare Provider BLS course.  This is more hospital oriented and includes child and infant CPR.  It does not include First Aid.


Please call Erin Smith-Cohen 694-3590 for more information.
