It may be the most valuable lesson a student can learn: How to save the life of a loved one, teacher, or friend by performing the simple steps of CPR. 

CPR can make the difference between the life and death of a loved one.  It can double or triple a cardiac arrest victim's chance of survival. 

The American Heart Association offers a comprehensive portfolio of both credentialed courses and awareness programs to train middle and high school students.  With options for adult, child, and infant CPR, relief of choking, and use of an AED (Automated External Defibrillator), the AHA has a training solution to meet every school's need.
