Standard CPR/AED & First Aid for Adults, Children & Infants

The entire classroom portion is online and self-paced. The only in-person part is the 30 minute skills assessment at our Herndon Training Center, where you demonstrate compressions, rescue breaths, AED use and the First Aid skills you have learned.

This course adds full First Aid on top of CPR and AED, covering bleeding control, burns, sudden illness, environmental emergencies and more. If you only need CPR and AED for a job requirement, the shorter Standard CPR & AED course is the faster route.
