The American Heart Association (AHA) program is used for first aid and CPR training. This nationally recognized program maintains the highest standards of emergency health and safety training. These classes are taught on main campus in Largo and the University Town Center in Hyattsville.
CPR Facts
Anyone can learn CPR—and should. CPR can double or triple a victim’s chance of survival. Click here to view a "Hands Only" CPR Demo.
If you witness a collapse, "hands only" is a good starting point. However, if you find someone collapsed, CPR will need to be administered in its entirety, including the administration of breathing techniques and compression.
