What is the difference between CPR Level A and CPR Level C?
CPR Level A is usually required at work to meet workplace health and safety requirements. CPR Level A involves skills related to CPR, choking and circulatory emergencies just for adults. It only takes just a few hours to learn. In most cases, for CPR purposes, an adult is 8 years old and older. This certification also includes training on how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
CPR Level C is usually required by early childhood educators, security guards or just about anyone who doesn’t work in healthcare. The Level C CPR class covers all the skills related to CPR, choking and circulatory emergencies for an adult (just like CPR level A), but in addition to that it also covers these techniques for a child, and infants. It also includes training for the two-rescuer CPR and how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
