4-Hours Hybrid Course

providE basic life support

Our CPR and AED Certification Course equips participants with essential life-saving skills for cardiac and breathing emergencies. This hybrid course combines flexible online learning with a 2-hour, in-person, evening hands-on skills review and checkoff. The self-paced online module covers CPR and AED theory, anatomy, and emergency protocols, while the in-person session provides real-time practice with CPR manikins and AED devices. After completing both components and a final skills checkoff, participants earn a two-year CPR & AED Certification. The course can be taken as a stand-alone certification or added as an upgrade to the first evening of the Wilderness First Aid Certification course.
