HOW CAN I GET FIRST AID, CPR & AED CERTIFIED IN NY?

Picking the right organization for your First Aid, CPR/AED certification training is vital. You need a quality class from a professional instructor who knows your needs.

General First Aid, CPR, and AED certifications are made for the average person who wants to learn how to assist someone facing a medical emergency until professional help is available. Anyone can learn to help with the proper training. There is no doubt that knowing CPR is important for anyone of almost any age.

Certification courses are available for both individuals and for workplaces. If you are looking for a workplace provider, you can choose between on-site blended learning or off-site training options.

Once you find the proper certification partner, you can contact them to set up the training delivery options and courses that are proper for your workplace.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT CPR/AED CERTIFICATION COURSE:

Top First Aid, CPR, and AED certification providers train you to give the latest emergency assistance techniques. High-quality certification courses allow you to practice and demonstrate the skills you’ve acquired in the presence of a certified instructor.

It’s necessary to evaluate any First Aid, CPR, or AED certification provider before choosing one. Among the most respected training courses are those made by the American Heart Association or the American Red Cross.

As one of the American Heart Association’s largest training collaborators, Cintas trains and certifies more than 300,000 people in First Aid, CPR, and AED each year.

Top certification course providers must also staff your class at an adequate level. You should expect a low student to instructor ratio and a low student to practice mannequin ratio.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FIRST AID, CPR, AND AED CERTIFICATION? 
First Aid, CPR, and AED certification courses all teach you how to react to medical emergencies, but each emphasizes different skills.

First Aid Certification trains you to evaluate and react to multiple general medical emergencies until first responders arrive. Through first aid certification training, you’ll understand how to recognize and respond to minor medical emergencies such as a small burn or cut, or more serious ones, like a broken bone.

CPR and AED certification courses train you to help someone having a cardiac event or to assist a person who has stopped breathing. CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. AED is Automated External Defibrillator.

CPR certification training involves teaching you to identify a person suffering from cardiac arrest. You’ll understand proper chest compression techniques, and how to help the victim to restart breathing.

AED certification training will show you how to know your way around an AED machine. An AED works by delivering electric shocks to the heart. You’ll also understand how to prepare a victim for the shock and how to properly administer and evaluate it.
CERTIFICATIONS RECOMMENDED PER INDUSTRY: 
There are multiple types of First Aid, CPR, and AED certifications depending on your needs.

They include:

First Aid Certification: trains you on the basics of the most popular first aid emergencies, including how to recognize them, how to call for help, and how to perform lifesaving skills.

CPR/AED Certification (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation): trains you on how to recognize cardiac distress, perform high-quality CPR and use AED equipment.
