Heartsaver CPR AED
Heartsaver CPR AED is the #1 cornerstone program for people who need to learn lifesaving skills for their job, the general public, and some allied health professionals.
Heartsaver® is the right program for a wide range of students
Heartsaver® students come from an array of professions, backgrounds and interests that include:
- Healthcare and allied health professionals (such as personal support workers/healthcare aides, medical technicians, dentists, dental hygienists, dietitians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and medical/dental office assistants)
- Non-healthcare professionals (such as security guards, early childhood educators, personal trainers and fitness instructors)
- Volunteers (involved with churches, libraries, community centres/events, clubs, caretaking and more)
- General public (who have an interest in developing CPR and AED life-saving skills)
What is the difference?
- Please take note that Heartsaver may not be suitable for all healthcare professionals depending on their practice environment. Heartsaver does not include two-person CPR, use of bag-valve masks nor resuscitation team dynamics.
