CPR Certification

CPR certification is a training program that teaches individuals how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, a life-saving technique used in emergencies when someone's heart stops beating or they stop breathing. The certification process typically includes hands-on practice in chest compressions and rescue breaths, as well as understanding when and how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED). CPR certified individuals gain the skills to respond effectively in emergencies, potentially saving lives. Certifications are often issued by recognized organizations and may need to be renewed every few years to stay current with best practices.
