Save a Life: CPR and First Aid Training

While knowing CPR and first aid is not a requirement in the 4-H program, some of you may still be interested in learning these skills. Here is a an opportunity in Parker in June.

Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in the western world, and research shows that with early access to 911, CPR and advanced care, survival rates increase dramatically. In June, ACC's Corporate Learning Division will offer five courses in CPR and First Aid. As part of its employee health and safety training, the College will offer Heartsaver courses in CPR and First Aid combined, CPR, AED, First Aid and Pediatric First Aid. The combined CPR and First Aid course costs $100 per person, and the others cost $50 per person. All courses will be offered at the University Center at Chaparral, 15653 Brookstone Dr. in Parker. A volume discount plan is available.

The combined Heartsaver CPR and First Aid courses teach CPR, relief of choking in adults, children and infants and the use of barrier devices for all ages. It teaches how to manage illness and injuries in the first few minutes until professional help arrives and covers medical emergencies and injury emergencies. It will be offered Saturday, May 31, from 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.; Saturday, June 14, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; Saturday, June 21, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Monday, June 30, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Three other courses are also available.
