It was an amazing day to meet different people, good studies, and good experiences. I feel inspired and interested for what we learned today, to keep ourselves safe and others.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are two different levels of CPR courses: CPR/AED Level A and CPR/AED Level C. Both courses cover the same material. The difference is that CPR/AED Level A only covers how to perform life-saving skills on adults, whereas CPR/AED Level C is more comprehensive and covers CPR/AED for adults, children and infants. Upon completion of either CPR course, you will receive a CPR and AED certification valid for three years. CPR/AED Level A is only available for private training, though.
