Who is Heartsaver® for?
Heartsaver® is the Canadian standard in CPR and AED training. This course is designed for everyday Canadians who don’t have medical training but who want to learn how to help someone having a cardiac arrest. This straightforward, yet comprehensive, course provides you with the skills and confidence to respond to a cardiac arrest or choking emergency at home, in public, or at work.
Heartsaver® is ideal for teachers, community and church volunteers, and families with children, infants, or seniors.
Why is Heartsaver ® important for me?
Cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, at any age, at any time. The vast majority (85 per cent) of cardiac arrests happen at home, in public places and workplaces. If you ever witness a cardiac arrest, chances are it will happen to a family member or someone you work with or care about. It is a life-threatening emergency, but by using skills you will learn through the Heartsaver® CPR AED course, you can double or even triple the person’s chance of survival.
