CPR & First Aid / AED Encino
Mastering CPR, also known as Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, is vital for saving lives in urgent situations. Enroll in our comprehensive CPR & First Aid training to become certified and proficient in dealing with emergencies involving someone who has ceased breathing or experienced a heart attack.
It's essential for everyone to acquire the skills for this critical life-saving technique, given that emergencies can happen in any setting. When immediate access to medical intervention is lacking, an individual trained in CPR can avert long-term brain injury or even death for someone in distress.
Many victims experiencing cardiopulmonary or respiratory issues meet tragic ends because bystanders, lacking CPR training, hesitate or fear intervening. In these critical moments, any form of action is better than inaction. Join the CPR and First Aid training course at LA Skills Academy in Encino to learn crucial intervention techniques, ensuring you can make a meaningful impact in life-and-death situations.

The CPR & First Aid/AED Training Program
The CPR & First Aid/AED course follows the emergency cardiovascular intervention guidelines set by the American Heart Association. Open to individuals of all ages, this course equips participants with the knowledge to administer CPR and first aid effectively in crucial life-saving situations.
Upon completion of the course in Encino, you'll be prepared to sit for the certification exam, which grants you CPR accreditation valid for two years. This training encompasses a four-hour intensive in-person session dedicated to the crucial components of delivering CPR and first aid promptly and effectively.
CPR Training
Learn the correct methods for administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to infants, children, and adults in various critical situations.
This instruction provides hands-on experience in effective CPR techniques and teaches participants to identify symptoms of cardiac and respiratory arrest, chest pains, and choking. Gain the knowledge to intervene appropriately to preserve the health and safety of the victim, including rescue breathing techniques and the proper administration of chest compressions.
AED Training
When CPR alone does not revive a person, the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) emerges as a critical life-saving option. Professional training is paramount for correct AED usage in dire circumstances. Trainees will learn the appropriate moments to deploy the AED, the method to attach it to a patient, the fundamental principles of its heartbeat correction mechanism, and indicators of its efficacy limits. Instruction will also include integrating AED usage with conventional CPR methods such as chest compressions and assisted breathing.

First-Aid Training
Whether dealing with a minor incident or an urgent medical situation requiring immediate attention, first aid encompasses a variety of interventions to uphold optimal patient health and safety.
This instruction involves recognizing and identifying wounds, ranging from scrapes and abrasions to deep punctures and cuts. Participants will learn to apply appropriate treatments and dressings to prevent infection and temporarily control blood flow. Additionally, the course covers basic methods for addressing illnesses, injuries, and other conditions demanding prompt and effective medical assistance.
CPR Certification
We offer CPR and First-Aid / AED certification and recertification courses for individuals seeking to learn lifesaving skills. These courses are conducted in person at our facilities in Encino.
Why Recertify?
Regular CPR and First Aid/AED recertification is crucial to staying current with your skills, ensuring you're always prepared to assist in emergencies. These two-year renewals also guarantee that you receive updated instructions on the latest American Heart Association guidelines for administering CPR. In urgent medical situations requiring quick intervention, being well-informed is essential. A recertification serves as an ideal refresher course, allowing you to brush up on your expertise.
If you currently hold a CPR certification, our recertification programs in Encino are available to you at a reduced rate, acknowledging the necessity for a biennial examination.
