CPR/AED Training
CPR/AED Training
Here at Fortis Defense, we combine the American Heart Association (AHA) in-person video-based teaching, in-person verbal instruction, printed material, hands-on skills practice, and evaluation using our training CPR manikins and AED equipment. AHA e-certification cards are provided upon completion of the course certifying each student for a period of two (2) years. Each student will have their own manikin and student workbooks to use during class. All training equipment is sanitized prior to and after the course for the student’s safety, per COVID recommendations. We provide multiple levels of training depending on the needs of our students.
If you are a first responder, medical professional, fitness instructor, or someone entering one of these fields, please choose the BLS CPR/AED option.
If you are a daycare or preschool worker, adoptive or foster parent or your employer requires a pediatric course, please choose the Pediatric Heartsaver First Aid/CPR/AED option.
For all others, please click the Heartsaver First Aid/CPR/AED option.
