About AED Courses

Automated External Defibrillators deliver therapeutic electricity to restart a heart that has stopped beating properly. These courses teach the lay rescuer to safely use AEDs in a variety of situations.

Please note that our courses are significantly different than other providers. Our AED Provider course is 8 hours, for the same money that others charge for a 4 hour course.

In addition, we provide far more practice with the machines. In the courses of our leading competitors, students practice 1 to 3 scenarios with the Defibrillation Trainer. In our courses, we guarantee at least 6 scenarios each. Instead of bringing one or two machines, we have special equipment that allows us to simulate up to 20 rescues at once. Our costs are in line with our competitor's courses, despite being significantly longer and more practical.

Medtronic is the world leader in AED development, and both machines have won competitions for ease of use. Medtronic AEDs are available with pediatric pads, and use reliable, lithium ion batteries that have a shelf-life of 5 years or more.
