• Heartsaver CPR: This course is designed to teach CPR and relief of foreign-body airway obstruction (FBAO) to all lay rescuers, particularly those who are expected to respond to emergencies in the workplace. Participants include security guards, firefighters, police and other lay responders. Although the course may be used to teach CPR to all lay rescuers, it is specifically designed for lay rescuers who are required to obtain a course completion card--a credential--documenting completion of a CPR course. All rescuers are trained in CPR and relief of FBAO (choking). We again, usually teach both adult and infant portions which takes about four hours.

• Heartsaver First Aid: This course is designed to teach rescuers the knowledge and psychomotor skills they need to recognize emergencies at the worksite and give first aid. Some rescuers are required to take this course as part of their employer's effort to comply with OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) regulations. For others, whose work may involve interaction with the public, such as scout leaders, law enforcement officers, firefighters, flight attendants and lifeguards, taking this course may be a requirement of their job description.

Note: a two-year credential is awarded upon successful completion of the Skills Demonstration and Written Test, administered at the end of the class.
