Cardiac Arrest Situation Training

Do you know what to do in a Cardiac Arrest situation?

Just because you don’t require First Aid Certification doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be trained in CPR and AED. The Heart and Stroke Foundation has come up with a great interactive course to train you in a Cardiac Arrest situation. This one hour interactive program puts you in a life-like scenario where you get to decide what steps to take to help save a life. Your group will be divided into two teams where you will be competing against each other to answer questions and after learning how to do CPR, you’ll get to practice on our mannequins. You will also learn how to use an AED and our company can offer you further training on AEDs when the video portion is over if you are interested. This can be offered to you as a friend group, a work group or your
work group can challenge another work group and compete against each other. The whole course can be done over a lunch break! You can come to us at our office or we can come to your office if you have the space for us to set up.
