There are many great benefits of being CPR certified. Getting, maintaining, and using your CPR certification can be a profoundly rewarding experience. And even better, CPR is easy to learn.

Save a life

No list of CPR benefits would be complete without addressing the fact that CPR saves lives. It’s such an important piece of what CPR certification is all about that we put it first. The American Heart Association says that “CPR, especially if administered immediately after cardiac arrest, can double or triple a person’s chance of survival.”

Other benefits include:

-Saving someone you love

-Identify and respond to the signs of a cardiac arrest

-Understand how to use an AED

-Help someone who is choking

-Help someone who is drowning

-Assist with an accident

-Save a life in a classroom

-Serve in a natural disaster
