Online Course Offerings

These courses allow you to complete the lecture portion at your own pace and convenience.  We are excited about this option for the Adult CPR, First Aid and AED courses.

In order to take our online courses you will need to meet the following computer and internet connection requirements:

1. An internet connection of at least a 56k modem or faster
2. Windows 98 or better
3. For a browser, use Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher.  Or you can use Netscape 4.76 or higher    Unfortunately at this time, the AOL browser is not supported.
4. You will need to have access to a computer that allows you to close the pop-up blockers.

An additional software requirement is Macromedia Flash Player.  This software is for the animation you will see during the course.  If you do not have Flash Player installed, you will be prompted upon opening the Adult CPR/AED Introduction.  If it is not detected, you will be redirected to Macromedia’s site for a free download.
