CPR & First Aid / AED Los Angeles
Learn the imperative technique of CPR—Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation—with our expert-led CPR & First Aid course. This certification program will train you in the essential protocols for delivering immediate care during heart-related crises or when an individual stops breathing.
Familiarity with CPR is imperative for everyone because emergencies demanding such a response can emerge in any location. When professional medical aid isn't available on the spot, someone who knows how to execute CPR might just save a life by warding off irreversible brain harm or fatal outcomes.
Many individuals experiencing cardiopulmonary or respiratory issues lose their lives due to bystanders' hesitation or fear of intervening, often stemming from a lack of CPR training. Taking action, even if it's basic, is preferable to doing nothing in such situations. Enroll in the CPR and First Aid training course at LA Skills Academy to acquire the necessary skills for critical interventions and make a life-saving impact.

CPR Training
Master the proper techniques for assisting infants, children, and adults in need of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in various critical situations.
This hands-on instruction includes the correct methods of CPR, along with guidance on recognizing symptoms of cardiac and respiratory arrest, chest pains, and choking. Develop the skills to intervene appropriately to safeguard the health and safety of the victim, encompassing rescue breathing techniques and the accurate administration of chest compressions.
AED Training
Should CPR not return a pulse, the next recourse is activating an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). Our professional training curriculum helps individuals master how and when to apply an AED during emergent health crises. It focuses on instructing participants about the critical timing for AED application, laying out the steps for patient attachment, elucidating the device's operation in correcting heart rhythm, and interpreting when its limit is reached. Additionally, the curriculum integrates AED use with foundational CPR procedures, including chest compression and respirations.
