Studies have shown that CPR skills deteriorate rapidly, and have identified positive effects from brief, more frequent training sessions. As a result, the Heart and Stroke Foundation strongly encourages students to periodically review and practice CPR and AED skills whenever possible.
Cost is $55 per person, which includes a reference manual and your certification card will be mailed to you. Payment can be made after the course is completed. Credit and debit cards are accepted.
