Free online course CPR and AED course

About the free online course

Knowing what to do in the first moments of a cardiac emergency can change an outcome completely. This free online course helps you build practical CPR and AED confidence so you can act fast, stay calm, and support someone until professional help arrives. Whether you want stronger safety skills for your workplace, your family, or community volunteering, you will learn how to respond with purpose instead of hesitation.

You will focus on the fundamentals that matter in real situations: assessing responsiveness, calling for help, and delivering effective chest compressions with correct hand placement and technique. The course also guides you through what to do as soon as an Automated External Defibrillator is available, so you can integrate AED use smoothly into your response and keep interruptions to a minimum.

Because emergencies can involve any age, the training also addresses key differences when assisting infants. You will learn how to check responsiveness appropriately and how to adapt when pediatric AED pads are not available, including proper placement of adult pads for an infant. These details can feel intimidating at first, but clear explanations and practice questions make them easier to remember when time is critical.

Short videos and targeted exercises reinforce decision-making, helping you recognize the right next step without second-guessing yourself. By the end, you will be better prepared to respond to sudden collapse, use an AED correctly, and perform CPR with improved confidence and accuracy. If you are looking to strengthen your first aid readiness and add a valuable safety skill to your profile, this course is a solid place to start.
