AHA CPR/AED Classes

These options allow students to complete the majority of the didactic coursework and material electronically at home and attend a 30 minute in-person hands-on skills practice and testing with our instructors.
These skills testing sessions will be social distanced, one-on-one with instructor and student, all parties wearing masks, equipment disinfected between every use, and with the option to not complete pocket mask ventilations.
These offerings will be available for both AHA Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers (BLS) CPR/AED and Heartsaver CPR/AED with Optional Child/Infant Modules.

Following the completion of the internet class there will be in-person times on the Storrs Campus where students, once having completed the Zoom class, can come to safely practice the hands-on skills of tourniquet application, direct pressure, and wound packing. Pre-registration is required for these sessions and should take approximately 10 minutes of your time. You will be required to wear a mask, all instruction will be one on one with our instructors, gloves will be worn and all equipment will be cleaned between uses.
