CPR and first aid for the people who may be first to help
Heartsaver CPR & First Aid is a practical option for people without a healthcare role who want or need emergency-response skills. Depending on the course option, the curriculum can cover adult, child, and infant CPR, AED use, choking relief, and first-aid response for common emergencies.
Certification is earned after required course components and assessments are successfully completed. Contact EMIC with questions about processing or current availability, and verify any employer, school, or program requirement before choosing a course.
For everyday responders
Parents, caregivers, coaches, teachers, and community members can begin with a community-focused CPR and first-aid course.
For workplace teams
A team request lets EMIC review your training goals; it does not confirm a class, price, venue, or onsite arrangement.
Not sure what is required?
Ask the organization that requested training which course they accept, then compare its requirement with the published curriculum.
Schedule deliberately
Use the calendar for announced classes. If no listed option works, request training and wait for EMIC's response.
Know the difference between an announced class and a request
View announced dates on the class calendar. If you submit a request for individual, group, or workplace training, it is an inquiry—not a confirmed booking, seat, payment, or onsite commitment. EMIC will review availability and communicate the next steps.

Which CPR course is right for me?

If a job, school, or licensing body has given you a requirement, confirm the required course with that organization before enrolling.
Does viewing a class on the calendar reserve my place?
No. The calendar lists announced classes. A class request is also not a confirmed booking or payment. Follow the instructions provided for an announced class, or submit a request and wait for EMIC to confirm availability and next steps.
What will I learn in a Heartsaver CPR & First Aid course?
The curriculum addresses CPR, AED use, choking relief, and first-aid response for common emergencies. Review the Heartsaver curriculum for the current course scope and ask EMIC about the option that fits your needs.
