About this course
Emergencies can happen anywhere — a cardiac arrest at the gym, a choking episode at the dinner table, a deep cut on a hike. This course walks everyday people through the core principles behind emergency recognition, hands-only CPR, AED operation, choking response, and basic wound management. Every module is grounded in current guidelines from the American Heart Association (AHA) and Red Cross. Important: this course provides awareness education only. It does not replace an accredited, hands-on first-aid or CPR certification. Always seek in-person certification for real competency.
