What Is CPR and Why Learn It?

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a critical technique used when someone’s heart stops or they stop breathing. It combines chest compressions and rescue breaths to restore circulation and oxygen flow. The American Heart Association (AHA) notes that prompt CPR can double or triple survival chances during cardiac arrest. Learning CPR prepares you to act decisively, whether for a family member, coworker, or stranger. As one reviewer shared, “I left feeling very confident!” Our all-inclusive AHA-certified training ensures you’re ready to make a difference.
