TAKE10 CPR

TAKE10 CPR is a compression-only CPR course that can be complete in 10-15 minutes. This quick course is designed to provide attendees the knowledge and confidence to recognize when someone is in cardiac arrest and how to respond until help arrives.

This course teaches the Three C's to TAKE10 CPR:

  1. Check for movement/breathing
  2. Call 911/Send someone for an AED
  3. Compress strong and fast for 100-120 BPM

This is not a CPR certification course. This class is a great introduction to CPR to provide confidence to respond in someone is in cardiac arrest. We still advise that all interested parties take the full 2-hour CPR certification course below.
