When performing CPR, look out for clear signs of life. If the person starts showing any kind of consciousness, including breathing, moving their body, opening their eyes, or making sounds and talking, it's time to stop the chest compressions. 

While both certifications are widely accepted, the American Heart Association is generally preferred in the medical field, particularly for advanced certifications like ACLS and PALS. 

There's no specified age limit for CPR certification, although a minimum weight of 90lbs is recommended for effective chest compressions. 

The primary contrast between certification and non-certification CPR courses lies in the provision of formal documentation. Certification courses furnish participants with an official certification card upon successful completion, whereas non-certification courses do not offer such documentation.

It's important to note that specific eligibility criteria may apply. Nevertheless, we do offer non-certification courses, which are tailored to individuals who do not require formal proof of completion. These courses are structured to impart fundamental knowledge and skills in CPR and related techniques. Although non-certification courses do not culminate in a certification card, they remain valuable for acquiring essential CPR skills, potentially enabling individuals to respond effectively to medical emergencies and save lives.  

A 15-minute grace period is allowed. However, late arrivals beyond this may result in refusal of admission by the instructor. 

All courses are non-refundable. Cancellations or absences lead to forfeiture of payment. What if participants need to reschedule? - Reschedule requests can be submitted through the Reschedule Request form.
