CPR & First Aid Classes

Heartsaver CPR AED is geared for anyone with limited or no medical training who needs a course completion card in CPR and AED use to meet job, regulatory, or other requirements. Upon successful completion of the course, students receive a course completion card, valid for two years. This class is a video-based, instructor-led course that teaches adult and child CPR and AED use, infant CPR, and how to relieve choking in adults, children, and infants. This course teaches skills with the AHA’s research-proven practice-while-watching technique, which allows instructors to observe the students, provide feedback, and guide the students’ learning of skills.
We currently do not have any classes scheduled. Please reach out if you are interested in pursuing the blended learning approach to CPR Certification. Through this method, you complete the course online and schedule an appointment to come into our Administrative offices to be tested on your skills prior to obtaining certification.
To make an appointment for a Hands-On Skills Assessment email education@mvfpd.org
Blended learning is a combination of eLearning, in which a student completes part of the course in a self-directed manner (online), followed by a hands-on skills assessment session. For those students who have already completed the online portion of the AHA course, MVFPD offers the certification Hands-On Skills Assessment Sessions! For more information please email education@mvfpd.org
Hands-On Skills Assessment Sessions costs do not include the online portion of the Blended Learning Course. That may be purchased separately on the AHA website. You MUST bring a printed completed certificate to participate in the hands-on skills assessment session-you receive this after you pass the online portion of the class.
