Nearly every two minutes, someone dies of sudden cardiac arrest. Automated external defibrillation (AED) could save a quarter of these lives. AED devices are showing up everywhere from industrial settings to shopping malls, and the demand for training is rising. And fortunately, the number of people trained in CPR grows every year too.
The Emergency Response Consulting Group delivers certified training programs that offer the very latest techniques and follow the latest guidelines for CPR. These interactive courses deliver the latest CPR and ECC guidelines through a combination of lecture, video, group discussion, and hands-on training . This blended method of learning has proven to increase retention of the techniques.
Our First Aid, CPR and AED program teaches the average person the basics of emergency life support, and takes the fear out of AED use. We give you all the background information and skill testing you need to feel confident in the event of an emergency—and help save a life.
