Registering And Taking CPR AED Training Online

By Jaclyn Hurley


Many positions require attendance of lifesaving emergency courses but you may not have the time to attend one in your city. One method of making this less stressful and easier to attend is taking CPR AED training online. The opportunity to take the course at your leisure may be just what you need to fit it in your busy schedule. You can work at your own pace and review the videos several times if necessary to help you understand the procedures and examples. This will be of great assistance in saving lives.

The type of employees who may be required to take these classes may include lifeguards, healthcare personnel, day care workers, lifeguards, restaurant employees, and personal trainers. Parents and grandparents may choose to take the training to be prepared if something happens to their children or grandchildren. Look for instruction that is job-specific. For example, restaurant employees need to be ready to react to a variety of situations which may include customers, employees or vendors. Day care and school employees would have to be familiar with tactics that will work well with small children.

Search for the classes that will best fit your needs. Check to make sure that they are a certified and recognized learning institute. Pricing may vary also but most of the time this type of coursework is much less expensive than attending a regular, in-person class.

These courses consist of learning how to react when it appears that someone is having a heart attack. Stressing that time is of the essence is the most important aspect of the instruction. Minutes can mean death to an individual so the first step is to determine if an individual is actually having a heart attack.

Learning the essentials of CPR and applying it until help or the AED machine arrives is critical. Knowing how to attach the machine to a victim is a simple procedure - the machine itself will give step-by-step instruction and updates. A good course will prepare you for heart attack incidences by showing live videos, demonstrating proper steps to follow, and providing easy-to-read graphics and illustrations to make it even clearer for students.

Make sure that as you attend these web classes that you take thorough notes. There will be an exam at the end of the instruction and you must have a passing score to complete the course. If you want to make the study and instruction more fun and interesting, ask a friend, co-worker or relative to sign up with you. This will give you someone to study and take practice exams with.

After taking and passing the exam, participants are usually issued a temporary certificate and/or card. A permanent certificate and/or card is mailed and received a later date. It is good for two years after which it is extremely important to re-take the classes as technology and instructions may have changed.

Knowing how to react in a critical emergency situation is vital to the victim and his family. You never know - the emergency could be with your own child, a customer, friend or a complete stranger. The essential skills in these life or death situations could mean the difference between tragedy and triumph.
