The Area Health Education Center has been educating students and the community on life saving techniques for over 10 years. We offer several course options to meet the training needs of our community. Please feel free to contact our instructors with any questions you may have.
CPR and First Aid Certification
Course options
Training courses and skills testing will be offered onsite at the Area Health Education Center. Blended classes will also be offered for those who would prefer to learn the material online and do a skills test in-person.
Blended learning is a combination of eLearning (online portion), in which a student completes part of the course in a self-directed manner, followed by a hands-on, skills testing session. This type of course provides students with the convenience of completing the course at their own pace wherever they have access to the Internet.
Note: If you do not see current courses listed, please email the Health Careers Coordinator to ask for course options or skills testing options. In-person courses can be offered for 4 or more students.
