Family & Friends CPR is for people who want to learn CPR but do not need a course completion card in CPR for their job. This course is ideal for schools and students, new parents, grandparents, babysitters and others interested in learning how to save a life.
This course does not offer an AHA course completion card. However, students receive a “tear-out” participation card with their Family & Friends CPR Student Manual.
