One Course Could Save A Life

As an authorized American Heart Association Training Site, Signature Rescue delivers CPR, AED, and First Aid courses built on the latest evidence-based resuscitation guidelines. Learners can choose online learning, hands-on skills sessions, or blended options for healthcare, workplace, and community needs.

The AHA reports that immediate CPR can double or triple survival chances after cardiac arrest, and that more than 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the U.S. each year. Our goal is simple: help more people feel ready to act before help arrives.
