Why Learning to Save a Life Matters
Every Second Counts in a Medical Emergency
Why does bystander action matter?
Every year, over 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside hospitals in the United States. When someone's heart stops, immediate action makes the difference between life and death. Yet less than half of victims receive bystander CPR before emergency services arrive. Immediate CPR can double or triple a person's chance of survival.
Who can learn to save a life?
You don't need medical training or a health care background to become a lifesaver. With proper instruction in CPR, AED use, and emergency response, anyone can gain the confidence to act. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or community member, these life-saving skills prepare you to respond during cardiac emergencies, choking incidents, and critical situations.
How can training prepare you?
Our free courses provide step-by-step instruction in recognizing emergencies and delivering effective care until help arrives. You'll master the same physician-developed training used by health care professionals worldwide. When we equip people with essential skills, we create communities of prepared responders ready to save lives.

Compare Your Options: Course Completion Certification vs. CME-Accredited Certification
Why should you purchase the full certification?
While our free courses provide valuable knowledge and a course completion certificate, the full certification offers additional benefits, particularly for professionals who require official documentation for their careers. If you need a provider card for work, licensing, or professional development, upgrading to the full certification is essential.
Advantages of the full certification:
- Recognized Provider Card – Many employers and organizations require a recognized provider card as proof of competency in life-saving skills.
- CME Credits – Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits are required for many health care professionals to maintain licensure and stay current with industry standards.
- Enhanced Credentials – A full certification strengthens your resume and professional credibility, demonstrating your commitment to maintaining up-to-date training.
