The American Heart Association strongly promotes knowledge and proficiency in BLS, ACLS and PALS and has developed instructional materials for this purpose. Use of these materials in an educational course does not represent course sponsorship by the American Heart Association, and any fees charged for such a course do not represent income to the Association.

During a CPR/First Aid class, you will be working with manikins and sitting/kneeling on the floor. The room is often chilly as well. For your comfort, we recommend that all participants wear pants and short or long-sleeved shirts for the class.
