student programs

Our Student Programs are designed to teach Adult, Child and Infant CPR to middle school and high school students. The course also teaches students information about how to live a healthy lifestyle, and actions that can be taken to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Participants of this class are typically students with ill family members, or students who work as babysitters. The course typically takes approximately 4 to 6 hours to complete, but can be broken down into entirely separate modules of less than 60 minutes which can be taught on different days. All participants will receive an American Heart Association Heartsaver in Schools textbook.

The following topics are covered in this class:

• CPR for an adult

• CPR for a child

• CPR for an infant

• Relief of a foreign-body airway obstruction for an adult

• Relief of a foreign-body airway obstruction for a child

• Relief of a foreign-body airway obstruction for an infant

• Automatic External Defibrillator for an adult

• Automatic External Defibrillator for a child

• Signs of heart attack and choking

• Prevention of sudden infant death syndrome

• Prevention of common fatal injuries in children and infants.

This classes covers specific modules of the American Heart Association's Heartsaver in Schools Program. A formal test is not administered with this class, and therefore, an official American Heart Association course completion card is not issued. All participants will receive a Life Savers course completion certificate.
