First Aid: AED Training

First Aid: AED Training is an elearning course that shows you when and how to use an AED for emergencies. If you’ve ever watched a medical show on television, then you’ve likely seen a defibrillator in action. A defibrillator is used to shock a person’s irregular heart rhythm back into normal rhythm. An Automated External Defibrillator, or AED, is a miniature version of that. AEDs are placed strategically in public places like schools, gyms and restaurants in case of emergencies. In this course, we’ll identify when and how to use an AED. We’ll go over who you can use an AED on and the steps to using one properly.

This course is from our First Aid series. It comes with a video with audio narration, downloadable materials, and a quick quiz. When you take this First Aid course along with others in the series, you’ll be equipped to handle various types of emergency situations when they arise.
