Getting CPR certified is on the to-do list for many people, but it's one of those things that always seems to be bumped down to the bottom of the list. You know that CPR is important, but since you haven't ever really felt the need for it, you put off getting the certification. Unfortunately, when an event does arise where knowing CPR could be life saving, you need to know CPR that exact moment. Too many people sign up for a CPR course because they knew someone who could have been saved if they had only known this critical life saving skill. If you've been thinking about signing up for some CPR training services near you, here are 3 great reasons why you should book that appointment today. It Saves Lives If someone performs CPR on a person in cardiac arrest, their chance of survival can as much as triple. By the time an EMT arrives on scene, that window of opportunity has passed. Right now, only 46% of people are in a place where someone with CPR training can help them. When you learn CPR, you are becoming that beacon of hope for people. Already know CPR? Brushing up on your skills can help keep it fresh for you, and you can maximize your life saving capabilities by learning children and infant CPR as well. Learning more can only help you improve, so that no matter what crisis you come across in your day to day living, you'll be able to save a life. There are even pet CPR courses available in some areas, which are extremely useful for those who work with animals. Gives you more confidence Taking a CPR class gives you the power to save a life. When you know that if a crisis happens, you could be the one that stands between life and death for a person, it changes how you look at life. Many people who take CPR classes report feeling more confident in their day to day activities. Even though learning CPR is just one part of your life, that confidence can spread to your work and social life as well. We can all do with a little dose of extra confidence, and CPR could be just the way to do it. It makes you a more valuable employee If a business is not within a 3-4 minute drive of a hospital, they are required to have one or more of their staff trained in CPR. Certain types of work, such as those involving children or dangerous work such as in electrical, require that all workers learn CPR. If you already know CPR, this makes you a more valuable employee for any business. There's no reason not to, and every reason to take advantage of the benefits of this easy and practical class. There are many benefits to signing up for CPR training services, and no real drawbacks. The next time CPR training services become available in your area, don't hesitate, get training now, and be prepared to save a life.

You bring up an interesting point that at least one staff member in a business needs to know CPR if they are not within a quick drive to a hospital. I am hoping to learn CPR before my baby is born in June, but this is definitely an additional benefit. I will be sure to find a CPR class in my area to help me get certified.

It was fascinating to know that taking a CPR class provides you with the ability to save a life. That's probably why my brother wants to take an American Heart Association CPR class. I should advise him to go for it to obtain a CPR certification.

Knowing CPR is a critical life-saving skill that can be the difference between life and death in an emergency situation. The references cited in the article emphasize the importance of having CPR training and being prepared to respond in a crisis. How do you think we can encourage more people to become trained in CPR and make it a widely available skill in society?
