Help keep someone alive until paramedics arrive

CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is a powerful life saving skill and something that everyone should consider learning. Being trained in CPR means that if someone collapses nearby and isn’t breathing, you can step in to keep them alive until paramedics arrive. If that’s not enough, we’ve compiled our top four reasons for you to sign-up for a CPR course and become a lifesaver in your community!

Training is easy and inexpensive
It doesn’t require years of medical training to become certified in CPR, it’s very affordable and certification can be completed in a short period of time. For most people, learning the proper technique once is all that’s required, but for some professions, it is important to re-certify CPR every two to three years.
