Certified as an American Heart Association (AHA) Training Center means Emergency Response Training has passed stringent AHA requirements ensuring that we have the proper equipment and training. In addition, ERT has also won a “Certificate of Outstanding Performance” from the AHA for the quality of our courses.
There are lots of folks who teach CPR, but ERT is dedicated to providing the best CPR education possible. We’ve had experienced paramedics taking our refresher classes saying “I learned more about CPR here than in any other course I’ve had.”
We provide these courses in our training center, or on-site at your place of business, school, fitness center, etc. for groups of 6 or more students.
When an emergency occurs that causes someone to stop breathing or lose their
pulse, the end result is usually death
unless someone nearby knows CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation).
Brain death begins in 4-6 minutes. Brain death is
assured in 10 minutes.
Waiting for an ambulance and trained medical personel is not an option.
You can make a difference!
We offer the AHA "Heartsaver" and "Heartsaver AED" courses for the non-professional who wants to be prepared in case of an emergency. Recognize the signs and symptoms of a cardiac emergency and choking. Know what to do for Adults, Children and Infants. Learn to use Automated External Defibrillators (AED). And do so safely by using a 'CPR Barrier Device'.
Are you concerned that “one quick class” might not make you comfortable performing CPR in an emergency? We are the only training center to offer a guarantee! Take our Heartsaver AED course at our Woburn training center and, if you do not feel comfortable, come back within the first three months to take the course as many times as you like, free!.
