HeartSaver CPR & AED Course
The HeartSaver CPR & AED course by Medicore Medical Services covers essential skills for responding to cardiac and respiratory emergencies. Participants learn when to perform CPR, how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), and how to assist adults, children, and infants who are choking.
This video-based, instructor-led course uses the American Heart Association / Irish Heart Foundation Practice-While-Watching (PWW) method, allowing instructors to observe, guide, and provide real-time feedback as students develop their skills.
By the end of the course, students will have completed multiple cycles of CPR while using a defibrillator, building confidence and competence for real-life emergencies.
