About the class
The Family & Friends® CPR course from the American Heart Association (AHA) is designed to teach lifesaving CPR skills for adults, children, and infants in a supportive, group-based learning environment. Using the AHA’s practice-while-watching method—proven through research to maximize hands-on time—participants gain the skills and confidence to act quickly in an emergency.
This non-certification course focuses on core CPR skills without the pressure of testing, making it ideal for individuals, families, and community groups who want to be prepared to save a life.
