AED Certification in Colorado Springs

When someone suffers a sudden cardiac emergency, his or her chances of survival are reduced by approximately 10% for each minute that defibrillation is delayed. And with the average response time of first responders once 911 is called registering at between 8 and 12 minutes, you can see that knowing how to use an AED is critical. That's why the American Red Cross offers a range of options for AED training in Colorado Springs.

Red Cross AED classes in Colorado Springs are designed and taught by experts who can help you learn to provide care during times of crisis. Our courses are not only OSHA compliant, but they're also fast, easy, informative and affordable. And when you choose the in-person or blended Simulation Learning courses, you'll receive full certification that's valid for two years. This can help satisfy your employer's safety requirements and make you an even more valuable member of your team.

In order to give you the information you need to provide care to someone in need, our Colorado Springs AED classes also include instruction on, and certification in, First Aid and CPR. And although these classes offer a wide range of information, they take just a few short hours to complete. In addition, our in-person and Simulation Learning courses on AED, First Aid and CPR are OSHA compliant and result in full certification, which is valid for two years.

AED certifications are valid for two years.
