Certification programs for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillation (AED) focus on the most common emergency requiring CPR/AED – cardiac arrest. AEDs are machines that are attached to the chest with pads and apply shock needed by the heart. All CPR classes include AED training, in accordance with the latest guidelines from the American Heart Association.

Awards and CPR Certification in Grande Prairie

To pass the training program, complete attendance, adequate skill demonstration, and at least 75 percent on the written exam are needed by the student. Once the training class has been successfully completed, a certificate card is awarded to the student. Wall-mount certificates are optional.

The certificates are valid for three years and renewable through recertification programs. Grande Prairie First Aid offers recertification for levels C and HCP, both four hours in duration and held at least twice a week. Standard first aid recertification is also available but required approximately 8 hours.
