Class Descriptions General Info
Should I take a Public class?
We offer training classes in first aid and CPR to members of the public. Generally speaking a member of the public is not a trained health care provider.
What is a professional class?
A professional is someone who is a trained health care provider, such as an EMT, paramedic, nurse, respiratory therapist, dentist or physician. These professionals are required to maintain certification in health care provider level CPR (also known as professional rescuer CPR), ACLS, PALS or PHTLS as a requirement of employment.
I am required to take a CPR class. Which CPR should I take?
Generally speaking trained, certified or licensed health care providers are required to complete health care provider (HCP) level CPR. HCP CPR is also known as CPR for Professional Rescuers, or Professional Rescuer CPR.
If you do not fit the above description, generally a Heartsaver class will be appropriate for your needs.
