This course is an independent AMAADOR Academy training. It does not issue an official American Red Cross, American Heart Association (AHA), European Resuscitation Council (ERC) or equivalent first-aid or CPR card, and it is not accredited or endorsed by those organisations. Chest compressions, AED pad placement, airway skills and bandaging need supervised, hands-on practice; this online course is not a substitute for that practical assessment, for emergency medical services, or for your employer's first-aid arrangements. It is not legal advice. Follow the current official public resuscitation and first-aid guidance and the procedures that apply at your workplace.
