CPR Courses in Manassas, Virginia

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is a technique used to sustain life until further help arrives or is accessible. Health care professionals, lifeguards and baby sitters are among those who find CPR certification useful. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends that businesses train their employees in first aid, including CPR and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) use, in case of emergency. Certification lasts one or two years before a recertification course is required. CPR courses in Manassas, Virginia, are available to individuals as well as professional groups.
