CPR AED Training Online For Lifesaving Skills

By Jaclyn Hurley


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.

Individuals who may be required to take these classes include healthcare professionals, restaurant employees, day care personnel, lifeguards, and personal trainers. Parents may decide to enroll just so that they can react if something happens to their children. A good program will offer job-specific tips and instruction. For example, day care instruction will focus mostly on small children while a healthcare professional will probably need more in-depth and technical courses. Lifeguards will need detailed instruction on pulling individuals from the water.

Find a course that especially fits your needs, budget and time frame. Be sure they are a recognized and licensed site before paying any enrollment fees or tuition. Compare pricing as it can vary widely but remember that these web courses are usually much less expensive than regular classes.

The most important aspect of this training is that you learn how to react in an emergency reaction. Time is the most important factor in these situations and this should be made clear in your classes. Just a few minutes or even seconds can mean disaster to unfortunate heart attack victims so it is always best to be prepared if you happen to be in the right place at the wrong time.

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.

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.

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.
