Emergencies happen when we’re least expecting them and while it’s hard to anticipate these emergencies, being prepared to jump into action can mean the difference of life and death.

By taking a Heartsaver course, students are taught first aid, CPR, and AED basics to help prepare them for common emergencies and how to handle the situations calmly.

If you’re deciding whether or not taking a Heartsaver course is worth it, here are some benefits.

You Learn the Signs of a Life-Threatening Emergency

When you’re able to recognize the signs of a life-threatening emergency, including a heart attack, stroke, or other medical emergency, it’s easier to handle them effectively. By knowing the signs, you’re able to take the right approach until medical professionals arrive.

You Know When to Call for Help

When emergencies happen, it’s easy for situations to get chaotic and people often jump into fight-or-flight mode. With Heartsaver training, you’ll learn how to react in emergency situations, and know when and who to call for help.

Know How to Perform Life-Saving Skills

Knowing how to perform life-saving skills such as first-aid, CRP, and how to properly use an AED can help prevent the loss of life and keep a patient somewhat stable until help arrives.
