Your job requires that you take the necessary lifesaving emergency classes but your busy schedule will not allow you time to do so. One viable option is to take this CPR AED training online. You will be able to take the classes anytime that is convenient for you and it is often less expensive than regular courses. Working at your own pace and the ability to review the critical instruction over and over until you understand the concepts and demonstrations will be very helpful to the retention of this life-saving information.

Healthcare professionals, day care employees, lifeguards, restaurant staff, assisted living and nursing home personnel, and personal trainers are among the many types of employees who should take these courses. Even parents with young children should make a point to learn all of these emergency procedures in case something happens in the home. Work-specific tips and coursework are elements of a strong program. For example, an individual who is employed in a nursing home probably sees higher incidences of heart attacks and should be especially prepared for these occurrences.

Research the best courses that will fit your personal needs and requirements. Be sure that they are a recognized and reputable school before signing up for the instruction. Also review the pricing - there are many different levels of charges that can be made to students. The positive note is that this type of training is usually far less expensive than regular classroom coursework.

The main point of theses classes is to prepare you in reacting to a heart attack emergency. When this happens, often there are only minutes and seconds to respond effectively. The very first step you learn is how to determine if it really is a heart attack.

The knowledge of the steps to apply CPR until the time that an AED can be procured is absolutely essential. After that, attaching an AED machine to the victim is relatively easy as the voice recording guides the individual through the basic steps. Your classes should include live videos, easy-to-follow instructions, illustrations and graphics to ensure that all instruction is crystal clear.

Take notes and review them often as you observe and study the techniques displayed. There is an exam at the end of this course that will test you on all you have viewed and learned. To make this education more fun and interactive, take the classes with a friend or family member - of course, they will need to have their own registration and computer to do so.

Taking the exam and passing it is a victory. Students will usually be issued a temporary card or certificate until they receive the originals in the mail. They are usually good for two years. It is vital that students get re-certified after the expiration date as the technology and procedures may change.

Having the knowledge that these courses offer may be critical some day. Whether it be an emergency with a customer, family member, client, or complete stranger, having the know-how to react in an emergency can make the difference between life and death. Being at the right place at the right time with the right skill sets may save a life.
