The Heartsaver AED course follows a practice-while-watching video format and is led by our instructors who will provide feedback and guide you through the lessons and help improve your CPR technique as you practice on a manikin.
Participants can opt to take the adult portion of this course only (which covers adult CPR and use of the AED) and this can be done in two-hours.
Participants who can demonstrate high-quality CPR at the end of the course will receive an Irish Heart Foundation/American Heart Association Heartsaver AED course completion e-card which is valid for two years.
