- The HSI CPR and AED training program is intended for individuals who are not healthcare providers or professional rescuers, but desire or are required to be certified in CPR and use an AED.
- This program is not designed to meet the regulatory requirements for pediatric first aid training in childcare and should not be used for that purpose.
- There are no class prerequisites.
