Any Places That Offer CPR Certification in Connecticut

Training for medics, lifeguards, daycare and healthcare providers includes cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) certification. Multiple facilities in Connecticut teach CPR training and certify participants once finished. Other instruction occurs online with the option for live class training. These classes often go over safety and first topics in addition to CPR.

Topics include checking conscious and unconscious victim, giving rescue breathes and use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). The professional rescue or lifeguard program teaches checking conscious and unconscious victims, one and two rescuer CPR, usage of a valve mask and use of an automated external defibrillator (AED).
