Family & Friends/Ask A Medic – Instructor-Led Classroom Training
The American Heart Association (AHA) Family and Friends course is designed to provide basic CPR training to individuals who DO NOT require certification for job purposes but want to learn life-saving skills for personal knowledge or for use in emergency situations at home or in the community.
What is covered in the AHA Family and Friends course?
- Adult Hands-Only CPR and AED
- Adult CPR With Breaths
- How to Help a Choking Adult
- Child CPR and AED
- How to Help a Choking Child
- Infant CPR
- How to Help a Choking Infant
Participants will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on practice scenarios that simulate real-life emergencies, allowing them to apply your newly acquired skills.
In addition to the standard course agenda, we’ll wrap up the session with what we at Code Blue Resources call ASK A PARAMEDIC. Curious about things like how to administer over-the-counter medications for overdoses, how to stop bleeding, or questions about emergency medical services in general – just ask the instructor!
Important Note: Unlike other AHA courses that lead to certification, the Family and Friends course is non-certifying. It focuses purely on skill acquisition and confidence building rather than meeting professional or workplace requirements. Each participant will receive a reference manual to take home that contains a wallet participant card.
Course Cost: $30.00 (includes in-person course and reference manual/participation card).
