(MAHWAH, NJ) – Ramapo College is offering the American Heart Association Heartsaver CPR AED (automated external defibrillator) course for two-year certification for personal trainers, volunteer coaches, parents, lifeguards, teachers and others with little or no medical background. Successful candidates are issued a Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED course completion card within 30 days.

The class is offered on Saturday, October 19, 1 to 4 p.m. in the Academic Complex, Room B-217. Pre-registration is required on the Website at: www.ramapo.edu/cipl/cpr.

Instructor-led courses teach participants the critical skills needed to respond to and manage an emergency in the first few minutes until emergency medical services (EMS) take over. Course includes multiple learning activities: videos, hands-on practice and skill testing. Appropriate attire for working with mannequins at floor level is required.

According to the American Heart Association, AED is included in the CPR course based on science in the 2010 AHA Guidelines for CPR & ECC that indicates that the chance of survival from sudden cardiac arrest is greater when high-quality CPR includes use of an AED. As AEDs are becoming more and more widely available in public and workplace settings, there is an increased need to educate people on how to use them.

The fee is $125 plus $12 for the required book, which is mailed and should be reviewed prior to the first day of class.

For more information about the workshop, please visit: www.ramapo.edu/cipl/cpr, or call the Ramapo College Center for Innovative and Professional Learning at (201) 684-7370.
