Overview

Emergency-ready classrooms start with prepared staff

This American Heart Association course prepares teachers and school staff to respond to the emergencies most likely to happen on campus — from cardiac arrest and choking to injuries and sudden illness.

Our hands-on class connects every skill to real school situations: the classroom, the cafeteria, the playground and the field. Schools can also request a private group class for their staff.
