CPR Classes

Adult, Child and Infant CPR Classes

The Cary Fire Protection District offers Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) classes to the public, following the American Heart Association’s Heartsaver Program. These classes are held on the first Wednesday of each month from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m.

Participants will learn CPR techniques for adults, children, and infants, as well as how to respond to choking emergencies and properly use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).

Each class requires a minimum of five participants and can accommodate up to nine students.

For larger groups, private CPR instruction can be arranged based on the availability of fire department personnel.

Re-Certification in Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers

The Cary Fire Protection District offers the required Practical Skills Testing session for Healthcare Providers seeking CPR re-certification. To participate, you must already hold certification from the American Heart Association (AHA) in Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers.

Re-certification involves two parts:

Complete the Online Course

Visit onlineaha.org and search the course catalog. Purchase the course titled HeartCode BLS, Course Number 20-3553. The American Heart Association charges a fee for this course. It is self-paced and includes checkpoints, videos, and optional review materials. Most participants complete the course in one to two hours.
Attend the Practical Skills Testing Session

After completing the online portion, you will receive a “Proof of Completion” letter. This letter is required to register for the hands-on Practical Skills Testing session offered by CFPD.

Fees

The fee for a non-resident is $30.00 per person for the CPR Class and the fee for the Practical Skills Testing of the Healthcare Provider CPR will be $15.00. The fee will be payable by cash or check at the time of class. If you are a Cary resident both the class and re-certification fees are waived.
