CPR and AED certification training
Cardiac arrest gives bystanders only minutes to act. BENTCO Safety Education runs practical, instructor-led CPR and AED classes that build the muscle memory your people need — adult, child and infant compressions, rescue breaths, choking relief and confident AED use. Certification cards are issued on successful completion.

- High-quality chest compressions for adults, children and infants
- Rescue breaths and bag-mask technique
- Turning on, pad placement and safe operation of an AED
- Choking relief for conscious and unconscious victims
- Recognizing cardiac arrest and activating emergency services
